Comments

Anif is a small village just south of Salzburg, and like hundreds of Austrian municipalities in the early 1920s, it resorted to printing its own Notgeld after coin shortages stripped everyday commerce of workable small change. This is the third issue (3. Auflage) of the 10 Heller denomination, printed locally by E. v. W. Müller in Salzburg — an unusually short supply chain for emergency currency, with designer Hütter and printer operating within a few kilometers of the issuing authority.

The JPR reference places this squarely within the Jaksch/Pick Austrian Notgeld catalogue. Third-issue pieces from minor Salzburg-region municipalities tend to survive in higher quantities than first issues, which were often exhausted in actual use before collectors took notice.
