One of thousands of Austrian municipal emergency notes — Notgeld — issued during the acute coin shortage that gripped the Habsburg successor states in 1920. Groß-Pertholz is a small market town in the Waldviertel region of Lower Austria, and its three-signature authorization reflects the full local council quorum required to legitimize what was, legally speaking, a private scrip obligation rather than state currency. Otto Neugebauer of Zwettl was a regional job printer who handled Notgeld commissions for several Waldviertel municipalities during this period, working at modest scale rather than the decorative collector-oriented issues that came out of Vienna.
