| Comments |
Rattenberg, on the Inn River in Tyrol, holds the distinction of being the smallest town in Austria — a fact that makes its wartime notgeld issues something of a curiosity. Like hundreds of Austrian municipalities during the coin shortage of the First World War, Rattenberg authorized small-denomination emergency paper to keep local commerce moving when metal disappeared from circulation. Wagner in Innsbruck handled printing for numerous Tyrolean communities during this period, making attribution straightforward here.
The official seal was the only security measure applied — modest, but sufficient for notes that almost never left their issuing town.
