| Comments |
One of the thousands of Austrian municipal Notgeld issues produced in the immediate postwar period, when the collapse of the Habsburg economy left local governments printing their own fractional currency out of practical necessity. Pichl bei Windischgarsten is a small alpine parish in Upper Austria — not a place you'd expect to find a named designer, but Weeser-Krell contributed to several regional Notgeld series during this period.
The Linz firm Jos. Feichtingers Erben handled a large volume of Upper Austrian municipal issues in 1920. Michael Mayr, one of the signatories here, was at the time serving as Federal Chancellor of Austria — an unusual detail for what is essentially a village emergency note.
