Adlwang is a small parish municipality in Upper Austria, and like hundreds of comparable villages it issued its own emergency small change — Notgeld — during the acute coin shortage that persisted in Austria well after the First World War ended. The 50 Heller denomination was among the most commonly needed in everyday transactions, which is precisely why so many local authorities printed their own rather than wait for Vienna to solve the problem.
Emil Frietyel of Steyr handled the printing — Steyr being the nearest significant town, and a logical choice for rural Upper Austrian commissions of this kind. The two signatories, Johann Munndorfer and Johann Altmann, were almost certainly the Bürgermeister and a senior council official, though their exact roles are unrecorded in standard references.
