| Comments |
Austrian municipal notgeld of this period was a practical response to the postwar coin shortage, but Tarsdorf's issue sits at the smaller end of the issuing hierarchy — a rural Upper Austrian parish rather than a market town or district seat, which makes survival in any quantity genuinely unlikely. The signature of Wengler as Bürgermeister anchors it to a specific moment of local administrative continuity in the chaotic transition from imperial to republican governance.
Rich. Puchner was a regional designer active in Upper Austrian notgeld production during 1920–21. His involvement suggests the commune used a local commercial printer rather than one of the Vienna houses handling larger municipal series.
