Arbing is a small parish municipality in Upper Austria, and this 10 Heller note is a product of the Notgeld wave that swept Austrian communities after the First World War left the new republic with a chronic small-change shortage. Towns and villages printed their own emergency currency partly out of necessity and partly, by 1920, because collector demand had turned Notgeld into a minor revenue stream — many municipalities issued these knowing they'd never circulate seriously.
E. Prietzel in Steyr was a regional printer handling multiple local issues during this period. The single signature, Joh. Fritzl, almost certainly the Bürgermeister or a senior municipal official at the time.
