| Comments |
Weibern is a small market town in Upper Austria, and like hundreds of similar municipalities, it resorted to printing its own emergency currency — Notgeld — when small coin effectively vanished from circulation in the chaotic years following Austria's defeat in the First World War. The federal government was unable to keep fractional coinage in supply, so the burden fell to local councils, savings banks, and even businesses to fill the gap.
Josef Feichtingers Erben was a well-established Linz printing house responsible for a significant portion of Upper Austrian municipal Notgeld. The "b" suffix in the Jaksc/Pick reference indicates a recognized variant within the series — likely a color, paper, or typographic difference from the primary type.
