One of hundreds of Austrian municipal emergency notes — Notgeld — issued in the early 1920s as small-denomination coinage disappeared from circulation entirely. Grödig is a small village south of Salzburg, and like most rural communities of this period, the Gemeinde took matters into its own hands rather than wait for central monetary authority to stabilize the coinage supply.
The printed date of 30 April 1945 in the catalog data is almost certainly an acquisition or cataloging date, not an issue date — the note itself belongs squarely to the 1920–1921 Notgeld wave.
