| Comments |
One of thousands of Austrian municipal emergency notes — Notgeld — issued when postwar coin shortages made small transactions nearly impossible. Nussdorf am Attersee is a tiny lakeside village in Upper Austria; that a community this small ran its own printing contract through the Salzkammergut-Druckerei in Gmunden speaks to how thoroughly the coin shortage had penetrated even rural economies by 1920.
The Salzkammergut-Druckerei handled a substantial share of local Notgeld production for the surrounding lake district, which accounts for the consistent if modest print quality across many of these small-denomination issues. Anton Wiesinger's signature as authorizing official is the sole accountability mechanism on the note.
