Eferding is a small market town in Upper Austria, and its 1919 Heller notgeld is a product of the acute coin shortage that gripped the former Habsburg territories in the immediate post-war collapse. Municipal authorities across Austria issued these small-denomination emergency notes independently, with local printers filling the gap that the disintegrating imperial monetary system had left behind.
Langhammer of Linz handled production — a regional commercial printer, not a specialized security firm. The single signature, Fz. Vogl, likely represents the Bürgermeister or a designated municipal official rather than a bank officer, as Eferding had no issuing bank of its own.
