The Landesverband der Kriegsbeschädigten — the provincial association for war invalids, widows, and orphans — was among the welfare organizations that issued emergency small change (Notgeld) in Upper Austria during the acute coin shortage of 1920. That this particular district office in Rohrbach commissioned a designer by name, Bernhard Derschmidt, and sent the work to Jos. Feichtingers Erben in Linz rather than using an off-the-shelf printer's stock, suggests the issue carried some local civic pride alongside its purely functional purpose.
Feichtingers Erben was a well-established Linz printing house active through the Notgeld period and responsible for several Upper Austrian municipal issues.
