| Comments |
Grossarl is a small alpine village in Salzburg's Pongau district, and like hundreds of similarly isolated Austrian municipalities in 1920, it issued its own emergency small change — Notgeld — because the postwar monetary collapse had driven coins entirely out of circulation. The Huttegger press in Salzburg produced these for numerous Salzburg communes simultaneously, which accounts for the consistent print quality across an otherwise fractured local currency phenomenon.
The 10 Heller denomination sits at the lower end of the Grossarl series. Designer credit to F. Kulstrunk is unusually specific for a village Notgeld — most comparable issues went uncredited.
