The issuer title 'WACHAUER-NOTGELD' runs along the top border and 'DÜRNSTEIN A/D. DONAU' along the bottom, both within ornate scroll frames. |

This is a Notgeld issue — Austrian emergency small-change currency, produced prolifically between 1920 and 1922 when coin shortages made low-denomination transactions impractical. Spitz an der Donau, a small Wachau wine-producing municipality, contracted the Vienna printer Eduard Sieger and engaged Prof. Kämpas as designer, which places this note among the more artistically considered local issues rather than the purely functional ones.
The Wachau series from this region attracted collector interest almost from the moment of issue, and many Notgeld notes were printed in quantities well beyond local need specifically to sell to hobbyists — a practice that muddies any conclusions about genuine circulation for individual pieces.
