| Comments |
One of the thousands of Austrian Notgeld issues that flooded the country after the collapse of the Habsburg monetary system, this joint issue between two small Upper Austrian villages is administratively unusual — it required the signatures of two separate mayors and their respective deputies, making four authorized signatories in total. That level of co-governance across municipal lines was rarely formalized in Notgeld production.
J. E. Kleinert of Ottensheim handled the design, a regional commercial printer typical of the small-run local issues that characterized the 1920–1921 Notgeld wave before the Austrian National Bank reasserted control.
