A photograph of the real thing this term names.

The municipal bank of Vienna. It stood between the state treasury and the city and became the issuer of Austria's first banknotes, the Bancozettel.

⚠ The fact that the issuer of the banknotes was a "city bank" rather than the "state" reveals a wariness towards paper money.
