Imbach is a village in Lower Austria so small it barely registers as a settlement — which makes its appearance as a currency issuer during the Heller notgeld period all the more striking. These municipal emergency notes emerged from the acute coin shortage that gripped Austria during and immediately after the First World War, forcing even the smallest administrative units to print their own low-denomination scrip.
The Jaksch/Pick reference places this in the Austrian notgeld series documented by Heinz Jaksch. Survival rates for village-level Heller notes vary enormously — some communes printed so few that any example is genuinely rare, while others over-issued and flooded collector markets in the 1920s.
