| Comments |
Austrian Notgeld issued by a Catholic church construction association — the Katholischer Kirchenbauverein — in the village of Ertl, Lower Austria. These hyper-local emergency issues proliferated after the First World War when small communes, parishes, and private associations stepped in to cover the near-total collapse of small-denomination coin circulation. A church building society issuing currency is unusual even by Notgeld standards; the association was presumably raising funds for a construction project while simultaneously addressing the coin shortage.
The two signatories, Schönegger and Stockinger, were almost certainly local parish or committee officials rather than bankers.
