| Comments |
Sittendorf is a small village in Lower Austria, and like hundreds of Austrian municipalities it issued Notgeld during the severe coin shortages of 1920–1921. These local emergency notes were rarely printed in large quantities, and many were collected as novelties rather than spent — which complicates any assessment of true circulation for village-level issues.
F. Soltenberg was a minor Viennese commercial printer with no particular distinction in the Notgeld trade, unlike the larger firms that dominated municipal contracts across Austria at the time.
