Schildorn is a small Upper Austrian commune that, like hundreds of similarly minor municipalities, issued its own emergency paper during the Kleingeldnot — the acute small-change famine that gripped Austria in the years immediately following the collapse of the Habsburg economy. Central banking infrastructure had effectively disintegrated, and local bodies were legally permitted to fill the gap with their own Notgeld, provided the mayor signed off. Josef Orneismüller's signature here is that authorization made physical.
Schildorn's issues are among the more obscure in the Austrian municipal Notgeld corpus — the commune had fewer than a thousand inhabitants at the time of issue.
