Aurach am Hongar is a small Upper Austrian parish on the Attersee's eastern shore, and this 10 Heller note is a product of the Notgeld wave that swept rural Austria after the First World War left the new republic chronically short of small-denomination coinage. Municipalities, cooperatives, and even individual businesses filled the vacuum by issuing their own emergency paper. Three signatures — mayor and two vice-mayors — was unusually heavy authorization for a note of this minor face value, suggesting the commune was determined to give it local legitimacy.
