| Comments |
Pfarrkirchen im Mühlkreis is a small Upper Austrian commune, and this 80 Heller note is a product of the acute coin shortage that gripped Austria from 1914 onward. Small municipalities across the country were authorized to print their own emergency small-change notes — Notgeld — to replace the hoarded metal coinage. The denomination itself, 80 Heller, is characteristically odd, chosen to fill gaps left by missing 50- and 10-Heller coins in local circulation.
Jos. Waltlunz was a regional printer, not a specialist security printer, which shows in the modest production quality typical of commune-level Austrian Notgeld. Stöllinger's signature as Bürgermeister gave the note its local legal standing.
