Own a fascinating, authentic piece of European history: a 14 piece set of Austrian Notgeld emergency currency banknotes dating back to 1920. Following the collapse of the Austro-Hungarian Empire after World War I, extreme coin shortages forced local municipalities and towns to issue their own regional paper money.
This specific collection beautifully highlights early 20th-century Austrian architecture, local heraldry, and regional pride. Each note features intricate, high-quality graphic designs depicting historic town squares, castles, churches, and traditional coat of arms from historic municipalities like Mauerkirchen, Peuerbach, Stein ad Donau, and Gainfarn.

⭐ Special Collector's Highlight:
This set features a highly desirable matching pair of banknotes from the municipality of Gainfarn that include the original, crisp official municipal ink seals (Amtstempel). These authentic town authority stamps were hand-applied in 1920 to authorize the notes for local circulation and protect against counterfeiting. Notes featuring clear, legible town seals are scarcer variants that are highly sought after by specialized numismatic collectors.
