Putzleinsdorf is a small market town in Upper Austria, and like hundreds of similar municipalities during 1920, it issued its own Notgeld to address the chronic small-denomination coin shortage that persisted in Austria well after the First World War ended. These hyperlocal emergency notes were produced in enormous variety — the Haase-designed series for Putzleinsdorf is modest by the standards of the more elaborate Notgeld commissions of the period, but Josef Schreibmeyr's signature as market authority gives it a clear chain of municipal authentication.
The 1920 Austrian Notgeld wave was as much a collector phenomenon as a monetary one — many towns printed excess quantities specifically for the philatelic trade, which complicates any assessment of genuine circulation today.
