| Comments |
Austrian Notgeld from the immediate postwar period, when the collapse of the Habsburg currency system left rural municipalities scrambling to produce their own fractional emergency money. Gutau, Hundsdorf, and Erdmannsdorf — three small Upper Austrian communities — issued this note jointly, an arrangement that was administratively unusual even by Notgeld standards, where single-village issues were the norm.
The Heller itself was abolished in 1925 when Austria redenominated, rendering all such notes worthless for exchange almost immediately after their brief circulation window closed.
