| Comments |
Reichental im Mühlkreis is a small village in Upper Austria, and like hundreds of comparable communities across the former Habsburg lands, it issued its own Notgeld during the acute coin shortage that followed the First World War. The 50 Heller denomination was among the most common face values for Austrian municipal emergency issues of this period — small enough to substitute for the hoarded metal coinage that had effectively vanished from everyday transactions by 1920.
The Jaksch/Pick reference JPR0827Ia places this within the documented Upper Austrian series. Paper composition was universal for these village issues; no metal or cloth variants are recorded for Reichental.
