"I would like to learn more about
the background for the Austrian coinage of the
1920's, particularly the brief (1923, 1924) coinage
of 20 and 100 Kronen gold pieces on the old
standard, and the introduction of the new Schilling
and the monetary role, if any, played by the 25 and
100 Schiilling gold pieces of the period up to the
Anschluss.
I only have at my disposal the brief (but excellent)
monograph on general Austrian monetary history
of August Loehr published in 1946. The standard
catalogs for modern Austria by Miller zu Eichholz,
Loehr and Holzmaier and by Jaeckel (I'm sorry
about the spelling errors, but I am away from my
library) don't help much. I would really
appreciate leads to journal references or more
extensive monographs on the monetary
history of Austria of the 1918 to 1938 period.
I read German, French, and Hungarian fairly well,
so these need not be in English."
