| Opmerkingen |
Wels, an Upper Austrian market town with Roman roots, issued small-denomination Notgeld heavily between 1919 and 1921 to address the acute coin shortage that plagued Austria in the immediate postwar years. The Austro-Hungarian currency system had effectively collapsed, and municipal and private issuers across the country filled the gap with locally printed emergency money — thousands of distinct types, most in tiny print runs and often redeemed within months.
Carl Richter's signature as Bürgermeister places this squarely in the early administration of the First Austrian Republic. Notes of this series were printed locally in Wels, which accounts for the modest production quality typical of provincial municipal issues.
