| Comments |
Austrian Notgeld of this type was a direct product of the coinage shortage that followed the First World War. Small denominations in metal had effectively vanished from circulation by 1918–1920, hoarded or melted, leaving municipalities across Austria to fill the gap with locally issued emergency paper. The Steinwald commune was one of hundreds in Upper Austria that did exactly this.
Franz Himmelbauer's signature as the authorizing official is the primary authentication element — Notgeld without a valid local signatory was routinely refused by merchants outside the issuing community.
