Purpose of use

The image depicts a 1988 version of the subject currency, providing a means to compare and contrast the designs of this and other 20 Schilling notes issued by Austria, in a manner for which text is insufficient. The use of an image of currency in this manner demonstrates the evolution of the currency's imagery, and thus provides commentary on the design and function of the currency.

Replaceable?

None, given that the currency is no longer in circulation.
