| 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 after the First World War left the country's monetary system in tatters. Local governments — many of them tiny — were authorized to issue their own emergency small change because coins had effectively vanished from circulation. Hausmening's issue was printed by J. Klelar in nearby Amstetten, a practical choice given the distances involved.
Robert Schönbrunner's name appearing on a village Notgeld is mildly notable — the designer credit is unusual at this scale of issue.
