Fischlham is a small rural commune in Upper Austria, and like hundreds of similar municipalities it issued emergency small-change notes — Notgeld — during the acute coin shortage that gripped Austria between roughly 1920 and 1922. The 80 Heller denomination sits in the mid-range of the typical Gemeinde Notgeld run, suggesting the series was designed to cover everyday low-value transactions that metal coinage had effectively abandoned.
The Jaksch/Pick reference JPR0203II places this firmly in the documented Upper Austrian municipal series, though print runs for village-level issues of this type were rarely recorded and survival quantities remain a matter of dealer experience rather than archival certainty.
