| Comments |
Waidhofen an der Thaya is a small Lower Austrian town that, like hundreds of Austrian municipalities, was forced into issuing its own emergency small change — Notgeld — when wartime coin shortages persisted well into the early republic years. The 1920 date places this firmly in the second wave of Austrian municipal issues, after the initial 1919 flood, when many towns produced revised or supplementary denominations to keep local commerce moving.
The Jaksc reference confirms this as a catalogued type, though survival rates for these small-format municipal issues vary considerably — town-by-town print runs were rarely documented, and Waidhofen was no major administrative center.
