| Comments |
Edt bei Lambach is a small Upper Austrian village, and this Heller note is one of thousands of municipal Notgeld issues that flooded Austria in 1920–21 when small-denomination coins disappeared almost entirely from circulation. What distinguishes the better Gemeinde issues from mere fiscal stopgaps is the involvement of a named designer — L. Haase worked out of Linz and contributed to several regional issues, which gives this note a degree of intentional craft unusual for emergency municipal paper.
Signed personally by Bürgermeister Josef Kaukerl, whose authority extended to perhaps a few hundred residents.
