Wendling is a small village in Upper Austria, and like hundreds of similarly obscure Gemeinden, it resorted to issuing its own Notgeld during the acute small-change shortage that gripped Austria in the years immediately following the collapse of the Habsburg economy. These municipal emergency issues were authorized under loose provincial guidelines, which is why the signing authority here falls to a local official — Martin Wiesinger — rather than any banking institution.
The JPR reference places this firmly within the Jaksch catalog of Austrian Notgeld, a series that documents thousands of hyper-local issues, many printed in runs so small that surviving examples from specific villages are genuinely difficult to locate today.
