| Anmerkungen |
Mariazell is Austria's most significant Catholic pilgrimage site, and the town's decision to issue its own emergency money in 1920 was entirely practical — postwar coin shortages had made small-denomination transactions nearly impossible across much of Austria, and hundreds of municipalities responded by printing their own Notgeld. The Marktgemeinde commissioned Frietzel in Steyr to handle production, a local press rather than one of the Vienna specialists, which gives this note a regional character distinct from the more elaborate Notgeld produced for collector markets.
By 1920, some Austrian Notgeld was being printed speculatively for sale to collectors rather than genuine circulation. Whether Mariazell's issue saw real transactional use is the more interesting question.
