| Comments |
Haigermoos is a small municipality in Upper Austria, and like hundreds of similarly modest communities, it issued Notgeld during the acute coin shortage that followed the First World War. These local emergency notes were produced in enormous variety across Austria between roughly 1919 and 1921 — some municipalities treated the exercise as a revenue opportunity through collector sales, others issued purely out of necessity. For a village the size of Haigermoos, the practical motive almost certainly dominated.
Josef Mayr's signature as issuing authority places administrative responsibility at the local Gemeindeamt level. The Jaksch/Pick reference JPR0336-10 confirms this as catalogued within the Austrian Notgeld series.
