| Comments |
Austrian Notgeld issued by municipalities like Kirchdorf an der Krems filled the acute small-change vacuum that gripped the country after 1918 — the collapse of the Habsburg monetary system left towns with no practical means of making change, and local councils became de facto issuing authorities by necessity. Three signatures from the Marktgemeinde's Bürgermeister and both deputies gave these notes a veneer of civic legitimacy, though their legal standing was always informal. Redemption was expected but not always guaranteed.
