| Comments |
One of several thousand Austrian municipal notgeld issues that flooded circulation between 1919 and 1922, this 10 Heller piece from Puchberg bei Wels — a small market town in Upper Austria near Wels — was issued because the postwar collapse of the Habsburg monetary system left ordinary small-denomination coins almost entirely absent from daily commerce. Municipalities, businesses, and even individual farms issued their own paper to fill the gap.
The Jaksch/Pick reference suffix ".2" indicates a variant within the type, likely a printing or paper difference from the primary issue.
