| Comments |
Mauerkirchen is a small market town in Upper Austria, and like hundreds of similar municipalities it turned to notgeld during the postwar collapse of the central monetary system. The 80 Heller denomination is an odd one — most Austrian notgeld clusters around rounder values — and likely reflects an attempt to cover a specific local change-making gap rather than any systematic planning.
Wilh. Mayer of Gmunden produced a large number of Upper Austrian municipal issues during this period, and the printing quality is generally modest. The Jaksc/Pick reference JPR0598IIa confirms this as a second type within the Mauerkirchen series.
