Ulmerfeld is a small market town in Lower Austria, and like hundreds of similar municipalities, it issued emergency paper money — Notgeld — during the acute coin shortage that gripped Austria between roughly 1916 and 1921. These hyperlocal issues were printed in tiny runs, often on whatever paper stock was available, and distributed purely to cover small transactions when metal coinage had vanished from everyday commerce. The Marktgemeinde had no banking infrastructure behind these notes; redemption depended entirely on the town's good faith.
The Jaksc reference places this firmly within the Austrian municipal Notgeld corpus. Low-denomination heller issues from villages of this size are frequently found with uneven ink strike.
