| Comments |
An Austrian Notgeld issue from the immediate postwar period, when the collapse of the Habsburg monetary system left municipal governments scrambling to produce small-denomination emergency notes for local use. Alberndorf is a small community in Upper Austria, and the involvement of both the acting deputy mayor and the sitting mayor as co-signatories reflects the bureaucratic seriousness with which even tiny communes approached fiduciary responsibility — dual signatures were a deliberate check against fraud.
L. Haase of Linz was a regional commercial printer, not a security printing house. Forgery risk on 10-Heller notes was minimal; the real concern was legitimacy in the eyes of local shopkeepers.
