Traunkirchen is a lakeside village of a few hundred souls on the Traunsee — one of the smallest municipalities in Upper Austria to have issued its own emergency currency during the Notgeld period. The 50 Heller denomination here was printed by the Salzkammergut-Druckerei in nearby Gmunden, the regional press that handled notgeld contracts for several Salzkammergut communities in 1920 when the postwar coin shortage was still acute enough to justify local paper substitutes.
By 1920 the Austrian Notgeld wave was already past its peak in most urban centers; that small rural parishes were still commissioning new issues at this date reflects how unevenly coin supply recovered across the country.
