| Comments |
Austria's early republican banknote program was complicated by the sheer institutional chaos following the collapse of the Austro-Hungarian Krone. The Oesterreichische Nationalbank was only re-established in 1923 under League of Nations supervision, and the Schilling series it issued from 1925 represented a deliberate break from that inflationary wreckage — the Schilling itself had been pegged at 10,000 Krone to 1 Schilling.
Rudolf Junk was a Vienna Secession-adjacent graphic artist; Karl Sterrer a figurative painter with academic credentials. Their collaboration on this series produced work noticeably more painterly than the engraving-dominated notes typical of contemporary European central banks.
