| Comments |
Hausmening is a small village in Lower Austria, and this 10 Heller note is a product of the Notgeld wave that swept Austrian municipalities from 1920 onward as postwar inflation rendered small metal coins effectively worthless and impossible to source. Thousands of communities printed their own emergency currency, but the quality of local output varied wildly. Having two named designers — Schönbrunner for the obverse, Krejal for the reverse — on a village-issue piece printed by a provincial Amstetten firm is a modest but genuine distinction in this category.
