St. Georgen im Attergau is a small market town in Upper Austria, and this 10 Heller note is a Notgeld issue — emergency municipal scrip produced during the acute coin shortage that gripped Austria from roughly 1916 onward. Wartime hoarding stripped small denominations from circulation entirely, forcing hundreds of municipalities to print their own fractional paper. St. Georgen's issue is among the more modest in format, reflecting a straightforward functional response rather than the elaborately decorative Notgeld that became fashionable in 1920–21.
Redemption was typically guaranteed only within the issuing municipality, and many of these notes were retired and destroyed once the crisis eased — which accounts for the uneven survival rates across the series.
