Henhart is a small municipality in Upper Austria, and this 10 Heller note belongs to the vast wave of Notgeld issued by Austrian communes following the economic collapse at the end of the First World War. The central government could not supply enough small-denomination coinage to meet everyday transactional needs, so thousands of towns and villages printed their own emergency fractional currency — Henhart among them.
Signed by Bürgermeister Aug. Müller, the note carries genuine local administrative authority, thin as that was by 1920. The JPR0366a series from Jaksch/Pick covers Henhart's issues specifically, suggesting at least minor variation between types — the "a" suffix here implying at least one parallel or successor issue exists.
