| Comments |
Klemens Brosch was one of the more gifted graphic artists working in Linz in the early twentieth century, and his Notgeld commissions — including this one for Sankt Georgen an der Gusen — are among the few places his work survives in any quantity. He died in 1925 at thirty-four, leaving a small but distinctive body of prints and illustrations.
The note belongs to the Austrian municipal Notgeld wave of 1920, when chronic small-coin shortages forced market towns to issue their own emergency fractions. Sankt Georgen an der Gusen was a modest Upper Austrian community with no particular monetary infrastructure — commissioning Brosch gave the issue a quality well above its face value.
