| Comments |
Aschach an der Donau is a small market town on the upper Danube in Upper Austria, and this 10 Heller note is a product of the acute small-change shortage that gripped Austria in the immediate postwar years. The dissolution of the Habsburg monetary system left local communities without adequate coin supplies, and hundreds of Austrian municipalities printed their own Notgeld between roughly 1919 and 1922 to fill the gap.
These hyperlocal issues were legal under emergency provisions but carried no guarantee beyond the issuing municipality's word. Aschach's version is among the more obscure of the Upper Austrian series.
