One of thousands of Austrian Notgeld issues produced in the chaotic years following World War One, when the collapse of the Austro-Hungarian monetary system left municipal governments scrambling to cover a coin shortage that the central authorities could not fix. Götzendorf an der Leitha, a small market town southeast of Vienna in Lower Austria, issued these notes under the same emergency provisions used by hundreds of comparable communes.
The Jaksch/Pick reference suffix "IIc" indicates a sub-variety within the series — likely a signature, color, or paper distinction from earlier printings. Worth confirming against the Jaksch catalog directly before attributing.
