| Comments |
Hohenzell is a small rural municipality in Upper Austria, and this 10 Heller note is a product of the Notgeld wave that swept Austrian towns and villages in the years immediately following the First World War. With the imperial currency system collapsed and small coin nearly impossible to obtain, thousands of municipalities printed their own emergency change — most on whatever local paper stock was available. The dual signatures here, from both the acting mayor and the full Bürgermeister, suggest the issuance was treated as a formal administrative act rather than a hasty stopgap.
The Jaksc catalogue number places this within a well-documented Upper Austrian regional series.
