10 Heller Aurolzmünster

Aurolzmünster is a small market town in Upper Austria, and this 10 Heller note is one of the thousands of Notgeld issues that flooded Austria between 1919 and 1921 when small-denomination coinage effectively vanished from circulation. The postwar coin shortage was acute enough that even villages with no banking infrastructure were authorised to print their own emergency paper. Jaksch/Pick catalogues this as JPR0069a, placing it among the earlier issues of the series.

The designer credit to "Bitterer" — likely a local artist or printer's draftsman — is worth noting; most comparable Notgeld from comparable towns used house designs with no individual attribution at all.
