| Comments |
Aschbach's 10 Heller Notgeld was issued during the acute coin shortage that followed Austria's defeat in the First World War — a period when hundreds of Austrian municipalities printed their own small-denomination emergency currency simply to make change. F. Rieder in nearby Amstetten handled production, a local commercial printer rather than a specialist banknote house. Erwin Strondl's involvement as designer places this among the more deliberately crafted examples of what was otherwise a utilitarian cottage industry.
