Austrian Notgeld from the early 1920s inflation period, issued by the tiny Tyrolean municipality of Kreith — a village so small it barely registers in contemporary administrative records. The Gemeinde-level Notgeld phenomenon was driven by a genuine coin shortage that left rural communities unable to make change; local councils printed their own fractional notes because there was simply nothing else available.
The Jaksch/Pick reference places this squarely in the documented Austrian series, but Kreith issues are genuinely scarce simply due to the population base — very few notes were ever printed, and fewer still survived the redemption window.
