| Comments |
Peuerbach is a small market town in Upper Austria, and this 10 Heller note is a product of the postwar Notgeld wave that swept Austria between 1919 and 1921 — a period when the collapse of the Habsburg monetary system left municipalities scrambling to plug a severe shortage of small-denomination coin. The Markt-Verwaltung had no banking authority in any meaningful sense; it issued these notes on local credibility alone.
Printed by Priezel in Steyr, a firm that handled a number of Upper Austrian municipal issues during this period. Three signatories authenticated the note — an unusually full authorization for a piece of this minor denomination.
