Comments

Sankt Peter am Hart is a small municipality in Upper Austria, and this 10 Heller note belongs to the vast wave of Notgeld issued across Austrian towns between 1919 and 1921 — a direct consequence of the coin shortage that followed the collapse of the Habsburg monetary system. Municipal governments were legally permitted to fill the gap with locally printed emergency scrip, and hundreds did exactly that.

The Jaksc/Pick reference places this firmly within the documented Austrian local issues, though survival rates for rural parish-level Notgeld vary considerably — smaller communities printed in lower quantities than industrial towns.
