Austrian Notgeld issued at the municipal level during the small-change crisis of 1918–1921, when coins vanished from circulation almost entirely. Schönberg — a small commune rather than a significant commercial center — would have issued these in very limited quantities, primarily to facilitate local trade when the imperial coinage system had effectively collapsed.
The 90 Heller denomination is atypical. Most municipal series clustered around rounder figures; the odd value suggests a deliberate attempt to cover a specific pricing gap in local commerce.
