Hinterbrühl is a small village south of Vienna, best known as the site of the Seegrotte — a flooded gypsum mine that the Nazis later converted into an underground aircraft factory. This 10 Heller Gutschein predates all of that by two decades, issued during the severe coin shortage that followed Austria's defeat in the First World War. The collapse of the Austro-Hungarian monetary system left municipalities scrambling to produce their own small-denomination emergency currency, known as Notgeld, simply to enable everyday transactions at the local level.
Wehhofer in nearby Mödling was a workhorse printer for this wave of municipal issues across Lower Austria, producing functional rather than decorative notes. The Jaksc reference JPR0376Ia-10.3 indicates this is one of several distinct types within the Hinterbrühl series.
