Herzogenburg is a small town in Lower Austria, and this note is a product of the Notgeld wave that swept Austrian and German municipalities during and after the First World War. Local printers — often newspaper presses or stationery shops — were pressed into service issuing emergency small change when coins vanished from circulation hoarded or melted. Buchdruckerei Herzogenburg was simply the town's print shop, not a financial institution in any conventional sense.
The issuing authority and the printer are the same entity, which tells you everything about the improvised nature of this instrument.
