Sankt Johann am Wimberg is a small rural commune in Upper Austria's Mühlviertel, and this 10 Heller note is a product of the postwar Notgeld wave that swept Austrian municipalities between 1919 and 1921. The collapse of the Habsburg economy left the new Republic of Austria with a chronic coin shortage — small denominations disappeared into hoarding almost immediately — and thousands of parishes, towns, and rural communes printed their own emergency fractions to keep local commerce moving.
Josef Wolferstorfer's signature as issuing authority places this squarely within the municipal Notgeld category rather than the decorative collector-oriented series that larger towns produced simultaneously.
