| Comments |
One of thousands of Austrian Notgeld issues produced after the First World War, when the collapse of the Habsburg monetary system left municipalities scrambling to create their own small-denomination emergency money. Neuhofen an der Ybbs, a small market town in Lower Austria, had this 10 Heller piece printed locally at F. Rielar in nearby Amstetten — a practical choice that kept costs and transit time down when both were scarce. The design credit to Emerich Kratki suggests at least some local artistic ambition beyond a plain typeset chit. Four signatories rather than the usual two or three points to a community taking its self-issued currency unusually seriously.
