Puchberg bei Wels is a small municipality in Upper Austria, and this 10 Heller note belongs to the vast wave of Notgeld issued by Austrian towns and villages between roughly 1919 and 1922, when chronic coin shortages following the collapse of the Habsburg economy made small-denomination change essentially unavailable. Thousands of communes printed their own emergency issues, ranging from crude single-color typeset slips to elaborately illustrated collector pieces — the latter category increasingly cynical about its actual monetary purpose.
The Jaksch reference places this within a well-documented Upper Austrian regional series, but Puchberg's issues remain minor entries even within that corpus.
