Oberwolfern is a small village in Upper Austria, and its 25 Heller Notgeld issue belongs to the enormous wave of municipal emergency currency that flooded Austria between 1919 and 1921. The collapse of the Habsburg monetary system left local authorities without adequate small change, and communes as minor as Oberwolfern were effectively authorized to print their own. Leopold Dorninger's signature as issuing authority places this squarely within the parish-level administration typical of rural Upper Austrian Notgeld.
The Jaksch/Pick JPR0699Ic designation indicates the third color or paper variant within the Oberwolfern 25 Heller series — meaning at least two earlier variants preceded it.
