| Descrizione del dritto | Dark-toned letterpress vignette rendered in a stark black-and-white graphic style with snow and icicle motifs framing the upper border, evoking a Siberian winter landscape. The denomination numerals '99' and 'Hl.' appear in large white relief characters at left and right, flanking a central yellow panel bearing a handwritten German verse in Kurrent script regarding the plight of war prisoners in Siberia. Below the central panel, a multi-line printed text in Roman type cites the resolution of 13 June 1920 by which the issuing association guaranteed redemption of the note in legal tender by 30 September 1920, followed by four manuscript signatures and the place-date 'Linz, am 15. Juni 1920'; the artist's credit 'Karl Huber, Urfahr' appears in small print at lower left. |

This note was issued not by a bank or municipal authority but by a civilian welfare association — specifically an organization of mothers and wives of Austrian prisoners of war still held in Russia, Siberia, and Turkestan as late as 1920, two years after the armistice. Austria-Hungary had lost hundreds of thousands of men to Russian captivity during the war, and repatriation dragged on chaotically through revolution, civil war, and collapsing rail infrastructure. The organization issued this Notgeld as a fundraising instrument to support those still awaiting return.
Karl Huber of Urfahr — then a separate municipality directly across the Danube from Linz, not yet incorporated — served as designer.
