Austrian municipal notgeld issued under the economic paralysis that followed the collapse of the Habsburg state. Kirchdorf am Inn is a small community in Upper Austria near the Bavarian border, and like hundreds of similar municipalities it was forced to produce its own small-denomination emergency scrip when coin disappeared from circulation entirely — hoarded, melted, or simply not minted in sufficient quantity by a government that had more pressing problems.
The 1920 dating places this in the second wave of Austrian notgeld, after the immediate postwar chaos and before hyperinflation made even these small values meaningless.
