10 Heller St. Georgen im Attergau

St. Georgen im Attergau is a small market town in Upper Austria, and this 10 Heller note is a product of the Notgeld wave that swept through Austrian municipalities between 1919 and 1921. With the Habsburg crown collapsing in value and small coinage disappearing from everyday transactions, hundreds of local authorities — Marktgemeinden included — were legally permitted to issue their own emergency fractional currency. St. Georgen's series is unremarkable in terms of political or monetary history, but the Jaksch cataloguing places it firmly within the documented Upper Austrian local issues.

The 1920 dating places this note in the later phase of Austrian municipal Notgeld, by which point the issues had become semi-collectible almost immediately upon printing.
