Kirchdorf am Inn is a small municipality in Upper Austria, and this 10 Heller note belongs to the vast wave of Notgeld issued by Austrian towns and villages during the acute coin shortage of 1920. The federal government's failure to produce sufficient small-denomination coinage forced even minor localities to print their own emergency money — legally tolerated, though the whole system was wound down by 1922 when the new Schilling-era coinage supply stabilized.
JPR0444a places this within the Jaksch-Pick Austrian Notgeld reference, which catalogs thousands of these municipal issues. Kirchdorf am Inn's run was small even by Notgeld standards.
