Pürstling is a small rural community in the Salzkammergut region of Upper Austria. This 30 Heller note belongs to the enormous wave of Austrian Notgeld issued between 1920 and 1921, when the postwar collapse of the Habsburg monetary system left village and municipal authorities scrambling to produce small-denomination emergency currency to cover the chronic shortage of coins in circulation.
The Jaksc catalog designation places this firmly within the documented Upper Austrian municipal series. Joh. Wagner's signature as issuing authority makes this a single-signatory piece — not unusual for communes of this scale, where one official often held combined administrative responsibility.
