Schönbühel an der Donau is a small market town on the Wachau stretch of the Danube, and this 20 Heller note is a product of Austria's Kriegsgeld phenomenon — the emergency small-change scrip that flooded the country from 1914 onward as metal coinage vanished into wartime hoarding and procurement. Thousands of municipalities issued their own Notgeld, but the sheer number of tiny Wachau communities doing so makes regional completists genuinely competitive for these.
Printed by F. Seltenberg in Vienna, a lithographic house responsible for a significant number of Lower Austrian municipal issues. Bürgermeister L. Strakonitzky's signature authorizes it.
