| Comments |
Piberbach is a small Upper Austrian municipality that, like hundreds of similarly modest communities, issued its own emergency paper money during the postwar Notgeld period. The Austrian state's coin shortage had become acute by 1919–1920, and local authorities were formally permitted to fill the gap themselves. F. Polinger was a Vienna printer who handled a significant volume of these small municipal commissions — practical work, not prestige printing.
The JPR reference places this squarely in the Jaksch cataloguing of Austrian municipal issues, a classification system that matters more to specialists than Pick alone.
