Pürstling is a tiny settlement in the Innviertel district of Upper Austria — the kind of place that would never appear in monetary history were it not for the Notgeld phenomenon that swept through Austria between 1919 and 1921. With the postwar collapse of the Habsburg monetary system leaving small coinage virtually non-existent, thousands of communes issued their own emergency scrip. Most of this municipal paper was produced by local printers or regional cooperatives and signed by whoever held civic authority at the time — in this case, a Joh. Wagner.
The Jaksc catalog reference 0803la places this squarely within the documented Upper Austrian series, but Pürstling issues are uncommon simply because the issuing population was small and total print runs were correspondingly low.
