| Comments |
A Schulsprengel — a school district association — issuing its own emergency currency is unusual even within the sprawling world of Austrian Notgeld, where municipalities, cooperatives, and civic bodies of every description printed scrip during the postwar coin shortage. The Zweckverband here was a joint administrative body covering the rural communes around Steinakirchen am Forst in Lower Austria, and the practical logic was simple: pooled authority meant pooled printing costs. Libertas in St. Pölten handled a significant volume of Lower Austrian Notgeld during this period and the production quality reflects that efficiency.
