| Comments |
Anzbach is a small market commune in Lower Austria, and this 10 Heller note is a product of the Notgeld wave that swept Austrian municipalities after the First World War. The collapse of the Habsburg monetary system left local governments scrambling to produce small-denomination scrip simply to make change — coins had effectively vanished from circulation through hoarding and metal requisitions during the war years.
Chwala's Druck was a Vienna commercial printer regularly contracted for municipal Notgeld across Lower Austria, which accounts for the relatively consistent typography across issues from different communes in the region.
