Comments

Austrian municipal notgeld from the Wienerwald region, issued by the Gemeinde Neuhaus during the acute coin shortage that gripped Austria following the First World War. These small-denomination paper scrip notes were a purely local solution — legal tender only within the issuing commune, redeemable in theory but often simply spent until they fell apart.

Three signatories — Karner, Mayer, and Fürst — reflect the collegial authorization structure typical of Austrian Gemeindeamt administration. The 10 Heller denomination sits at the low end of the notgeld range, suggesting this was intended to replace the smallest coins missing from everyday retail transactions.
