| Comments |
Schönau im Mühlkreis is a small market town in Upper Austria, and this 10 Heller note is one of the thousands of Notgeld issues produced across Austria between 1919 and 1921 when chronic coin shortages — made catastrophic by the collapse of the Habsburg monetary system — forced municipalities to print their own emergency small change. The designer credit to L. Haast is unusual; most village-level Notgeld went unsigned or credited a local printer rather than an individual artist.
The JPR0966b suffix indicates this is a variant within the Schönau series, meaning at least one other 10 Heller type was issued under the same reference group.
