Feldkirchen am Inn is a small municipality on the Austrian bank of the Inn River, and this 75 Heller note is a product of the postwar Notgeld wave that swept rural Austria and Germany between 1919 and 1921 — a period when the collapse of the Habsburg monetary system left small communities unable to obtain adequate small-denomination coinage. Local governments filled the gap themselves, commissioning whatever printer was nearby.
Jos. Moser's print shop in Braunau am Inn handled several such commissions for the surrounding district. The mayor's signature, Franz Kücher, gives the note its only claim to legal authority.
