| Comments |
Austrian municipal notgeld from the immediate postwar period, issued when the central banking system had effectively collapsed and small coins had vanished entirely from circulation. Hundreds of Austrian communes issued their own fractional paper in 1920–1921 to fill the void — St. Agatha, a small Upper Austrian parish, was one of them. These municipal issues carried no formal guarantee beyond local trust and were never legal tender outside the issuing community.
Georg Altenhofer's signature as the responsible municipal official is the only authentication on the note. No serial numbers, no security printing.
