| Comments |
Austrian Notgeld of this type was issued by a remarkable range of non-banking entities during the postwar economic collapse — sports clubs, choral societies, and municipal fire brigades among them. The Turnverein Neuhofen an der Krems issued this 10 Heller piece under the broad emergency currency permissions that Austrian local authorities and organizations held between 1919 and 1922, when chronic coin shortages made small-denomination scrip functionally necessary rather than merely supplemental.
Signed by Alfons Pollradl and Florian Mayr, both presumably club officials rather than financial administrators — which is precisely the point. Turnverein notes were redeemable locally and had no standing beyond the issuing community.
