10 Heller Ennsdorf

Ennsdorf is a small municipality in Upper Austria, directly across the Enns River from the town of Enns itself. This 10 Heller note is one of the Austrian Notgeld issues that proliferated after the collapse of the Habsburg economy in 1918, when coin shortages became acute and municipal governments were forced to print their own small-denomination emergency money to keep local commerce moving. Emil Prietzel was a Steyr-based printer who handled a number of these regional commissions.

Three signatories are required for validity — unusual for a denomination this small.
