Sandl is a small market commune in Upper Austria's Mühlviertel region, and like hundreds of Austrian municipalities in the immediate postwar years, it issued its own Notgeld to compensate for a catastrophic shortage of small change — a problem that plagued the rump Austrian state after the dissolution of the Habsburg empire left currency circulation in near-total disorder. The 90 Heller denomination is an odd one, reflecting just how granular the shortage had become by 1920.
Carl Jensen's Viennese printing house handled a significant volume of municipal Notgeld commissions during this period, and their work tends to be cleaner and better registered than many provincial alternatives. The Jaksc/Pick suffix "IVb" indicates this falls within a specific sub-variant grouping, likely differentiated by signature, date, or serial formatting rather than a design change.
