One of hundreds of Austrian municipal Notgeld issues that flooded the country between 1919 and 1922, this 80 Heller note from Kirchberg am Wagram was a local response to the chronic small-change shortage that followed the collapse of the Habsburg monetary system. The Marktgemeinde printed its own scrip because coins had effectively disappeared from circulation — hoarded, melted, or simply gone with the old empire.
The designer credit to Broinger is worth noting. Locally designed Notgeld varies wildly in execution, and the JPR0439IIa series from Kirchberg shows more compositional care than much provincial output of the period.
