Unterwolfern is a small municipality in Upper Austria that, like hundreds of similar communities, issued Notgeld during the severe coin shortages of 1920–1921. These low-denomination Heller notes were a purely local stopgap — accepted at the parish shop, the mill, the inn — and most were redeemed and destroyed once the federal government restabilized small-change supply. Johann Zwicklhuber's signature as issuing authority places him almost certainly as the Bürgermeister at the time of issue, though the office held no monetary expertise; these were administrative acts, not banking ones.
Survival rates for rural Upper Austrian Notgeld are uneven. Village issues saw genuine daily use in a way that larger town issues did not, which shows in the paper.
