One of thousands of Austrian municipal Notgeld issues produced in the chaotic years following the collapse of the Habsburg economy, this 99 Heller piece from Kirchberg an der Donau was printed by F. Kling in Urfahr — a small printing firm across the Danube from Linz that handled a number of local emergency currency contracts in Upper Austria during this period. The odd 99 Heller denomination, like similar near-round values seen elsewhere in Austrian Notgeld, was almost certainly chosen to discourage hoarding by making the notes awkward to accumulate in round sums.
