| Comments |
Atzenbrugg is a small Lower Austrian village best known — to literary historians at least — as the site of Franz Schubert's summer gatherings in the early 1820s. The commune issued this 10 Heller note as part of the broader Austrian Notgeld wave that followed the currency chaos of the immediate postwar period, when small coins vanished from circulation almost entirely and hundreds of municipalities resorted to printing their own emergency fractions.
The Jaksch reference confirms this as the first type of the series from this issuer — scarce simply because Atzenbrugg's population was tiny and total print runs for villages of this size were correspondingly small.
