| Comments |
Pergkirchen is a small municipality in Upper Austria, and this 10 Heller note is a product of the Notgeld wave that swept Austrian communes between 1919 and 1921 — a direct consequence of the coin shortage that followed the collapse of the Habsburg monetary system. Thousands of parishes and townships printed their own emergency pfennig-denomination paper, and Hiebl was a local printer rather than a specialist banknote firm, which shows in the production quality typical of these small-run community issues.
The Jaksch/Pick reference JPR0732-10 places it firmly within the catalogued Austrian municipal Notgeld corpus, though survival rates for Pergkirchen issues remain low given the tiny original print quantities.
