Pergkirchen is a small parish commune in Upper Austria, and like hundreds of similar municipalities it resorted to printing its own Heller-denomination Notgeld during the acute coin shortage that followed the First World War. The Austrian government's failure to maintain small-denomination metallic currency in circulation between roughly 1916 and 1921 forced even the most obscure rural communes to become, briefly, issuers of emergency money.
The Jaksch/Pick reference JPR0732-20 places this squarely within the documented Upper Austrian series, but Pergkirchen issues are not commonly encountered — small-run rural Notgeld frequently saw genuine local circulation rather than being printed for collector sale, which accelerated wear and attrition.
