| Comments |
A Notgeld issue from the Hainfeld district cooperative — the Zweckverband arrangement, in which multiple municipalities pooled authority to issue emergency scrip, was a practical response to the acute small-change shortage that gripped Austria in the immediate postwar years. The central government simply could not produce low-denomination coinage fast enough. Printed locally by Wilhelm Trentler, a Hainfeld press, this note never left its district of issue in any meaningful volume.
