Sandl is a small glassmaking village in the Mühlviertel region of Upper Austria, and like hundreds of Austrian municipalities it was forced into issuing its own emergency scrip — Notgeld — when the postwar coin shortage left small transactions nearly impossible. The inflationary chaos following the collapse of the Habsburg economy in 1918 drove even villages of a few hundred residents to commission local printers for stopgap currency.
Jos. Feichtinger's Erben was a well-established Linz printing house that produced Notgeld for numerous Upper Austrian communities during this period. Bürgermeister Josef Schober's signature gives the note its only claim to municipal authority.
