The denomination numeral "80" appears in red within a scroll cartouche at the base of the oval, with the designer's name "KARL WENNINGER" and printer's imprint "DRUCK von D. GEIGER, MÜHLDORF" inscribed in small capitals along the lower margin. |

| Comments |
Mühldorf am Inn was a small Bavarian market town with no particular monetary infrastructure, which makes its decision to issue locally printed notgeld in 1922 entirely typical of the period — but the denomination is not. Eighty Pfennig sits at an awkward value, neither a round coin substitute nor a practical bill, suggesting it was calculated to fill a specific gap in local change circulation rather than issued as a commemorative piece for collectors, as so much 1922 notgeld was.
Karl Wenninger designed the note, and D. Geiger printed it in town — one of the smaller regional print shops handling municipal emergency currency across Bavaria that year.
