| Comments |
Austrian Notgeld of this type was issued by an extraordinary range of bodies in 1920 — savings banks, municipal councils, industrial firms — but a racing club is among the less common issuing authorities. The Rennverein Obernberg am Inn issued this 40 Heller piece during the acute small-change shortage that followed the collapse of the Austro-Hungarian monetary system, when even private organizations had legal cover to put emergency notes into local circulation.
Buchdruckerei Schmalzer in Schwanenstadt handled the printing — a regional job printer, not a specialist security press, which is exactly what most Austrian Notgeld relied on.
