| Comments |
Saalfelden's 10 Heller Notgeld was produced by Buchdruckerei Zaunrith of Salzburg, a regional commercial printer typical of the countless small firms pressed into emergency currency production after the collapse of the Austro-Hungarian monarchy left local authorities scrambling to fill a coin vacuum. The Heller denomination had effectively ceased to function as a circulating coin well before 1920, making these municipally issued slips a practical necessity rather than a wartime novelty.
The Jaksc/Pick suffix "b" indicates this is a variant within the Saalfelden 10 Heller series — likely a color or paper stock difference from the "a" type, though both share the same Zaunrith imprint.
