Groß-Pertholz is a small market town in the Waldviertel region of Lower Austria, and this note is a product of the acute small-change shortage that paralyzed Austrian commerce in the years immediately following the dissolution of the Habsburg monarchy. Municipalities across rural Austria printed their own Notgeld precisely because centralized coin production had collapsed and the new republican government had no immediate answer for the gap.
Three signatories — the mayor, vice-mayor, and a council member — authenticate this specific issue, a bureaucratic formality that also tells you the town was taking its obligations seriously in a moment when most such emergency paper was never redeemed at face value.
