Waizenkirchen is a small market town in Upper Austria, and like hundreds of similar communities in the early 1920s it issued its own emergency small change — Notgeld — to compensate for the chronic shortage of low-denomination coins that followed Austria's defeat in the First World War. The central authorities could not produce enough coinage fast enough, so municipalities filled the gap themselves, printing scrip redeemable locally.
The Jaksch reference places this firmly in the Austrian municipal Notgeld corpus. These issues were typically printed in very small runs by local printers, and redemption was often incomplete — many notes were simply pocketed as curiosities rather than returned, which ironically preserved them.
