| Comments |
Austrian municipal notgeld of this period emerged from a genuine coin shortage that persisted well into the early 1920s — small-denomination metal had largely vanished from circulation, hoarded or melted, leaving villages to print their own stopgap paper. Feldkirchen am Inn, a small community in Upper Austria near Braunau, was one of hundreds of Gemeinden that did exactly that.
Franz Kücher signed as Bürgermeister, giving the note its legal weight under local authority rather than any banking institution. Such pieces were rarely redeemed in large numbers, which ironically means survivorship is decent — but genuine circulation wear is uncommon.
