Herzogenburg is a small Lower Austrian market town best known for its Augustinian monastery. This 10 Heller note belongs to the vast wave of Austrian municipal notgeld issued between 1919 and 1921, when a nationwide coin shortage — itself a consequence of wartime metal requisitioning and post-imperial monetary disruption — forced even minor localities to print their own fractional currency. Petschka was a Vienna-based printer responsible for a significant portion of this provincial emergency paper.
The Jaksch/Pick reference JPR0367-10 places it firmly in the documented notgeld corpus, though survival rates for these small-denomination municipals vary considerably by town.
