Sittendorf is a small village in Lower Austria, and like hundreds of Austrian municipalities it issued emergency small change — Notgeld — during the severe coin shortage that followed the First World War. The 99 Heller denomination is deliberately odd, chosen to fall just below the 1 Krone threshold that would have triggered different redemption and tax obligations under Austrian fiscal rules of the period.
Printed by F. Geitanborn in Vienna's third district, a firm known primarily for commercial lithography rather than security printing. That's exactly the point — these were never meant to circulate beyond the parish boundary.
