| Comments |
Siezenheim is a small village west of Salzburg, and this 10 Heller note is a product of the postwar Austrian notgeld wave — the municipal emergency money issued between roughly 1919 and 1921 when small coinage had effectively vanished from circulation. Ruhsam was a working Salzburg commercial printer, not a specialist security press, and the notgeld they produced for surrounding communities was functional rather than decorative.
The "c" suffix in the Jaksc reference indicates a recognized variety within the Siezenheim 10 Heller series, suggesting at least three distinct printings or states exist.
