Aich is a tiny rural commune in Upper Austria, and this 10 Heller Notgeld is exactly what the postwar emergency money movement produced by the thousands across German-speaking Austria between 1919 and 1922. The collapse of the Habsburg monetary system left small communities without small change — coins had vanished, hoarded or melted — so local councils printed their own. Aich's issue is among the more obscure, with survival numbers reflecting genuine small-community production runs rather than the collector-oriented print runs that larger towns were already cynically producing by 1920.
