| Comments |
Biedermannsdorf is a small municipality south of Vienna, and this Heller note is a product of Austria's postwar Notgeld wave — the period between 1919 and 1922 when hundreds of Austrian communes issued their own emergency small change after the collapse of the Habsburg monetary system left a near-total vacuum of low-denomination coins. J. Wehhofer in nearby Mödling handled printing for several local communes, which accounts for the shared production geography. Three municipal signatories — deputy mayor, mayor, and treasurer — were required to authenticate the issue, an unusually formal arrangement for a 10 Heller piece that would have bought almost nothing even at the time of printing.
