Bischofstetten is a small Lower Austrian market commune that, like hundreds of similar municipalities, issued its own emergency paper money — Notgeld — during the acute coin shortage that followed the collapse of the Habsburg economy. The 40 Heller denomination was among the more commonly needed values for everyday small transactions, and local Notgeld at this level was printed in enormous variety across Austria between 1919 and 1921, most of it never redeemed after the schilling reforms made it worthless.
The single signature, Riesinger, almost certainly belongs to the Bürgermeister at the time. Municipal records from this period are fragmentary.
