Comments

Jeutendorf — now Jetřebí, in what became Czechoslovakia — issued this 10 Heller note as an emergency Notgeld in 1920, well past the point when most Austrian municipalities had abandoned the practice. The timing suggests local coin shortages persisted longer here than in urban centers, a common condition in smaller rural communes struggling with postwar currency fragmentation after the dissolution of the Habsburg monetary system.

The Jaksch/Pick reference places it firmly within the Czech-German Notgeld corpus, a heavily collected but unevenly documented field where village issues like this one often survive in very small quantities.
