Rabensburg is a small market town in Lower Austria, just a few kilometers from the Slovak border. This 10 Heller note is a Notgeld issue — emergency municipal scrip produced across Austria and Germany in enormous variety between roughly 1919 and 1922, when chronic coin shortages made small-denomination change effectively impossible to obtain through normal banking channels. Thousands of Austrian communities issued their own.
Signed by Bürgermeister Joh. Tutschey, whose name appears on several Rabensburg Notgeld denominations from this period.
