One of thousands of Austrian Notgeld issues produced in the immediate postwar period, when the collapse of the Habsburg monetary system left municipalities, churches, and local associations scrambling to fill a severe small-denomination coin shortage. That this particular series was issued by a Catholic church building society rather than a municipal authority is unremarkable for Lower Austria in 1920 — religious organizations regularly stepped into the gap. F. Kielar was a small Amstetten commercial printer with no particular distinction in the Notgeld trade.
The Jaksc/Pick suffix "d" indicates a variant within the Ertl series, presumably differentiated by signature combination or paper stock.
