Comments

Hadersdorf am Kamp is a small Lower Austrian market town on the Kamp river, and this 10 Heller note belongs to the vast wave of Austrian municipal Notgeld issued after the First World War when small-denomination coinage had all but vanished from circulation. Thousands of Austrian communes printed their own emergency scrip between 1919 and 1921, but the quality varied enormously — most rural issues were typeset affairs, while some market towns commissioned local artists or teachers to produce something more considered.

K. Rohrhofer's designer credit here is atypical for a village issue of this scale, suggesting the municipality took some care with the commission rather than simply running text through a local press.
