| Comments |
Spital am Pyhrn is a small Alpine municipality in Upper Austria, and its 1920 emergency notes belong to the vast Austrian Notgeld wave that followed the collapse of the Habsburg economy. With the new Republic's small-denomination coinage chronically absent from circulation, thousands of Gemeinden printed their own Heller notes to fill the gap — this 80 Heller value being an unusually specific denomination that suggests local pricing pressures rather than any standardized municipal policy.
Josef Grundner's signature as issuing authority reflects the Bürgermeister or a designated communal official; the Jaksc/Pick reference suffix "IIa" indicates a distinct paper or print variant within the type.
