| Comments |
Maria Enzersdorf is a small town south of Vienna, and this 10 Heller note belongs to the vast wave of Austrian municipal emergency money — Notgeld — issued between 1920 and 1921 when the postwar collapse of the Habsburg currency left smaller communities without adequate small change. Hundreds of Austrian communes issued their own paper in this period, but the quality varied enormously. Fritz Karl Mundt, who designed this series, was a professional artist, and Maria Enzersdorf's issues are generally regarded among the more carefully executed examples of Lower Austrian municipal Notgeld.
