| Comments |
Pischelsdorf is a small Lower Austrian municipality, and this 50 Heller note is a product of the notgeld wave that swept Austria between 1919 and 1921, when the postwar collapse of the Habsburg monetary system left local governments scrambling to plug change shortages themselves. Municipalities with no particular claim to philatelic fame issued paper in runs sometimes as small as a few hundred pieces, signed by whoever held the mayor's seal that week.
Franz Preiser's signature here likely indicates a local official rather than a printer or engraver. The printing source for most Lower Austrian municipal notgeld of this period remains unattributed.
