| Comments |
Pfarrkirchen im Mühlkreis is a small Upper Austrian municipality, and this 50 Heller note is a product of the Notgeld wave that swept Austria between 1919 and 1921 — a direct consequence of the postwar currency collapse and the chronic shortage of small-denomination coins that left local commerce effectively paralyzed. Municipalities, businesses, and even individual estates filled the gap with their own emergency paper. L. Haase in Linz was one of the regional printers that handled a significant volume of these Upper Austrian issues.
