| Comments |
Fischlham is a small rural municipality in Upper Austria, and this 50 Heller note is a product of the Notgeld wave that swept Austrian communities between 1919 and 1921 — a direct consequence of the coin shortages that followed the collapse of the Habsburg monetary system after the First World War. Municipalities, businesses, and institutions issued their own small-denomination emergency paper because official coinage had effectively vanished from everyday commerce.
Karl Stinglmair signed as the responsible local authority. The Jaksc/Pick reference JPR0203II-50 places this within the second series from Fischlham, suggesting the community issued at least two rounds of Notgeld.
