| Comments |
Austrian Notgeld of this type emerged from the severe coin shortage that followed the collapse of the Habsburg economy — small-denomination metallic currency had been hoarded, melted, or simply vanished from circulation by 1919–1920. Cooperatives and local businesses across Lower Austria filled the gap by issuing their own heller notes, legally tolerated for a brief window before the Austrian National Bank reasserted control. The Kleintierzucht- und Wirtschafts-Genossenschaft — a small-animal breeding and general economic cooperative — was an unusual issuer even by Notgeld standards; most were municipalities or savings banks.
Radinger in Scheibbs was a regional jobbing printer, not a specialist security firm, which shows in the modest production values typical of this rural Lower Austrian series.
