| Comments |
Herzogsdorf is a small rural commune in Upper Austria, and this 10 Heller note is a product of the Notgeld wave that swept Austrian municipalities between 1919 and 1921 — a direct consequence of the postwar coin shortage that left local economies unable to make change. The commune issued its own scrip simply because the new Republic couldn't supply enough small denomination coinage fast enough. Three signatories is typical for Austrian municipal Notgeld of this period, reflecting the requirement for multiple local officials to authenticate emergency issues.
Printed in Linz, the nearest regional center with press capacity adequate for small-run municipal work.
