| Comments |
Sankt Georgen bei Grieskirchen and Tollet issued this note jointly — an unusual arrangement even by the standards of Austrian Notgeld, where inter-municipal cooperation was rare. Most communes issued independently, making dual-authority Notgeld a minor curiosity among collectors of the type.
By 1920, Austria's postwar currency shortage had already peaked in most urban areas. Rural Upper Austrian communes were often the last to withdraw their emergency issues, and some circulated well past the official redemption deadlines.
