10 Heller Feuersbrunn

Feuersbrunn is a small wine-producing village in Lower Austria, and like hundreds of similarly sized Austrian municipalities, it issued its own emergency currency — Notgeld — in the early 1920s when the post-war collapse of the Habsburg monetary system left small communities without adequate small change. These hyper-local issues were printed in tiny quantities, often in single runs, and circulated only within the village itself.

F. Seitenberg in Vienna's third district was one of several small commercial lithographers pressed into service for municipal Notgeld contracts. The 10 Heller denomination sat at the lowest practical end of Austrian emergency coinage equivalents at the time.
