| Comments |
Krungl is a small village within the municipality of Mitterndorf, and this 10 Heller note is one of several denominations issued under the broader Notgeld program that flooded Austria between 1919 and 1922. The collapse of the Austro-Hungarian monetary system after 1918 left rural communities without adequate small change — coins had effectively vanished from circulation, hoarded or melted — forcing thousands of local authorities to print their own emergency currency.
The Jaksch catalogue distinguishes Krungl issues separately from general Mitterndorf notes, suggesting the village administered its own float rather than drawing from a single communal pool.
