| Comments |
Austrian Notgeld, issued by a small commune almost certainly during the acute coin shortage that followed World War One. These hyperlocal emergency notes were produced by the thousands across Austria between roughly 1919 and 1922, with individual municipalities — villages included — authorized to print their own fractional currency when federal coinage simply wasn't reaching circulation in usable quantities.
The single signature of Johann Hennerbichler places authority at the municipal level, likely the Bürgermeister or a designated communal official. No printer attribution has been recorded for this piece.
