Weissenbach an der Triesting is a small market town in Lower Austria, and like hundreds of Austrian municipalities in the immediate postwar years, it issued its own emergency currency — Notgeld — to compensate for the catastrophic coin shortage that followed the collapse of the Habsburg monetary system. These hyperlocal issues were printed in enormous variety between roughly 1919 and 1921, with F. Rollinger of Vienna supplying many of the smaller Gemeinde commissions at low cost.
The JPR1155 series for Weissenbach is among the less-documented Lower Austrian Notgeld issues, which makes precise population estimates difficult.
