Comments

Anthering is a small village north of Salzburg, and like hundreds of other Austrian municipalities it issued its own emergency currency — Notgeld — during the severe coin shortage that followed the First World War. The 10 Heller denomination was the workhorse of local exchange, used for the smallest daily transactions at a time when the central government could not supply adequate small coinage.

E. u. K. Müller was a Salzburg commercial printer, not a specialist banknote firm, which accounts for the modest production quality typical of regional Austrian Notgeld. Designer F.X. Stadler's involvement suggests a degree of local artistic intent rather than a purely utilitarian rush job.
