!!!Bancozettel

Bancozettel (bank notes), paper money issued by the Wiener Stadtbanco 
under a patent of July 1, 1762 in denominations of 5, 10, 25, 50 and 
100 florins. The bank notes were altered in 1771 and 1785 and notes of 
500 and 1000 florins were added. Public cash offices were obliged to 
accept Bancozettel as a means of payment or change them into coins. 
During the Napoleonic Wars the issue was increased significantly. The 
Bancozettel lost its validity as a means of payment on May 31, 1812.
