Österreichische Klassenlotterie

Remark

After WWI a buffer state called "Donaustaat" was planned in central Europe.
Monetary plans were underway and notes partially printed - with denomination numerals but without currency name.
The Donaustaat did not materialize, and later the unfinished notes were overprinted and used as tickets for the Austrian Government's Lottery.
