| Obverse description | The obverse is printed in black and violet on cream paper, with a bold Art Nouveau-influenced design. Two large numeral '60' vignettes flank the centre, above which a stylised floral or tulip motif rises from a radiating sunburst within a circular guilloche. The issuing context and denomination are conveyed through arched lettering reading '1. DEUTSCHÖSTERREICHISCHE NOTGELDAUSSTELLUNG KREMS', with the date 'AUGUST 1920 SEPTEMBER' below the central vignette, the designer's name 'TOMSCHIK' at the foot, and border legends reading 'ZU GUNSTEN DER KRIEGSGEFANGENEN' and 'HEIMBEFÖRDERUNG UND SEELSORGE DER ARMEN' along the margins. |

| Comments |
Krems an der Donau issued Notgeld across several denominations during the early 1920s, part of the broader Austrian municipal emergency money phenomenon driven by a chronic small-change shortage following World War I. The city's series was designed by Tomschik, whose name appears on a number of Lower Austrian Notgeld issues from this period — a regional illustrator working across multiple commissions simultaneously rather than a single dedicated house artist.
The "EDNA" suffix in the catalog reference designates a specific variant within the Jaksch series, distinguishing it by paper stock or printing characteristic from otherwise similar impressions.
