20 Kronen Traisen

Fischer'sche Weicheisen- und Stahlgießerei was an iron and steel foundry in Traisen, Lower Austria — not a bank. This note is a Kriegsnotgeld issue, emergency scrip printed by an industrial firm to pay its own workers when small-denomination coinage had effectively vanished from circulation by late 1918. Dozens of Austrian manufacturers did the same in the final months of the war, each printing their own obligations redeemable only at the issuing works.

The Habsburg monetary system was already in collapse when this was printed. Most factory-issued Notgeld of this type was redeemed and destroyed, which makes survivors from smaller industrial issuers proportionally scarce.
