Comments

One of thousands of Austrian Notgeld issues printed in the immediate postwar years, when the collapse of the Habsburg economy left municipalities scrambling to fill a coin vacuum with locally authorized small-denomination paper. Jos. Feichtingers Erben was a Linz commercial printer — not a security press — and handled a substantial volume of Upper Austrian municipal Notgeld during this period. Three signatories were required: the Bürgermeister, his deputy, and a Gemeinderat, a formality that speaks to how seriously even tiny rural communities treated the legal exposure of issuing their own currency.
