99 Heller Kirchberg an der Donau

One of hundreds of Austrian Notgeld issues from the post-WWI collapse period, when municipal and regional authorities printed their own emergency small change to compensate for the near-total disappearance of coins from circulation. The denomination — 99 Heller rather than a round figure — is characteristic of the period's chaotic improvisation, though some issuers chose odd amounts deliberately to discourage hoarding by making exchange arithmetic awkward.

F. Kling in Urfahr was a local commercial printer, not a specialist security firm. Urfahr itself was at this point still an independent town directly across the Danube from Linz, only incorporated into Linz in 1919.
