| Comments |
One of thousands of Austrian municipal emergency notes — Notgeld — issued in the chaotic years following the collapse of the Habsburg economy. Spitz an der Donau, a small wine-growing town on the Wachau stretch of the Danube, turned to Eduard Sieger in Vienna for its issue. Sieger was a prolific small-press printer responsible for a significant share of Lower Austrian Notgeld production during this period.
The Jaksc/Pick reference suffix "IIIa" indicates a specific paper or print variant within the 60 Heller denomination — collectors should verify the precise stock against confirmed examples before grading.
