| Comments |
Austrian Notgeld of this period was a direct consequence of the postwar coin shortage that left rural communities unable to make change for even minor transactions. Gemeinde-level issuances from small Upper Austrian villages like Allerheiligen — a parish commune of only a few hundred souls in Bezirk Perg — were typically authorized under provincial emergency ordinances and redeemable at the local municipal office rather than through any banking institution.
The "b" suffix in the Jaksc/Pick reference indicates a variant within the series, likely differing in color, paper stock, or a minor typographic detail from the "a" issue. Wiesinger's signature as issuing authority confirms local municipal rather than district-level backing.
