Buchkirchen is a small Upper Austrian municipality, and this 10 Heller note is a product of the Notgeld emergency that gripped Austria after the collapse of the Habsburg empire left local governments scrambling to cover a severe shortage of small-denomination coinage. E. Prietzel was a Steyr-based printer that produced a number of similar municipal issues for surrounding communities during this period — workmanlike output rather than the elaborately illustrated Notgeld being produced elsewhere for the collector trade.
The dual signatures of Bürgermeister Jungmayr and Vizebürgermeister Angermair were a legal formality required to validate the note as an official municipal obligation.
