Antiesenhofen is a small municipality in Upper Austria, and this 10 Heller note is a product of the Notgeld wave that swept through Austrian towns and villages in the early postwar years. The collapse of the Habsburg monetary system left local governments scrambling to cover a severe shortage of small-denomination coins — not a banking crisis, but a practical problem of pocket change. Municipalities were effectively authorized to fill the gap themselves.
Signed by Sebastian Denk, almost certainly the Bürgermeister at the time. Village-level Notgeld of this type was printed in very small runs and rarely left the issuing community.
