| Comments |
Puchkirchen am Trattberg is a small Upper Austrian municipality that, like hundreds of other villages, issued its own emergency small change during the Heller shortage that followed the collapse of the Habsburg monetary system. These Notgeld issues filled a practical gap — coins had largely vanished from circulation by 1920, hoarded or melted — and municipal authorities were effectively left to print their own fractions of a Krone.
Signed by Josef Seiringer, almost certainly the Bürgermeister at the time. The Jaksc catalogue reference places this squarely in the Austrian communal Notgeld series, a category vast enough that obscure village issues like this one remain genuinely difficult to trace in quantity.
