Aistersheim is a village in Upper Austria with a population that likely never exceeded a few hundred in 1920 — which makes its municipal notgeld about as local as emergency currency gets. These small-denomination heller notes were issued across thousands of Austrian communes during the postwar collapse of the Habsburg monetary system, when coins vanished from circulation almost entirely due to hoarding and metal scarcity.
The two signatories, Karl Bointner and Alois Enser, were almost certainly local officials rather than banking functionaries — a reminder that the authority backing this note was essentially a village council's word.
