5 Schilling

The Allied Military Authority schilling notes were printed in London for use in Austria following the 1945 liberation, though the 1944 date reflects when production was authorized and plates prepared — well before troops actually reached Vienna. The series was a joint Allied instrument, meaning the same designs circulated regardless of which occupation zone a given note ended up in: Soviet, American, British, or French.

Bradbury Wilkinson produced the run to a reasonably secure specification given the circumstances, including a watermark — unusual for what was essentially emergency occupation currency.
