| Comments |
Austrian municipal Notgeld of this type emerged from a acute coin shortage that hit hardest in small market towns between 1920 and 1922. Mondsee, a lakeside settlement in Upper Austria, issued its own emergency fractional currency through local authority rather than through any banking institution — the Bürgermeister's signature functioned as the note's sole guarantee of redemption.
Reisenbichler's involvement suggests local artistic production rather than a commercial printer, which is consistent with the variability in print quality seen across the Jaksch-catalogued Upper Austrian municipal issues. Anton Kaltenbrunner signed as issuing authority; no banking countersignature exists on this denomination.
