| Comments |
Tarsdorf is a small agricultural commune in Upper Austria, and like hundreds of similarly sized municipalities it issued Notgeld during the postwar currency crisis rather than deal in the near-worthless small-change coinage that had effectively vanished from circulation by 1920. These hyper-local issues were typically produced in very short runs — sometimes by a local printer, sometimes by a Vienna firm — and redeemed within months, which is precisely why surviving examples in any condition are harder to find than their original abundance might suggest.
