| Comments |
Steinerkirchen an der Traun is a small municipality in Upper Austria, and this 10 Heller note is a product of the Notgeld wave that swept Austrian towns in the immediate postwar years — a direct consequence of the coin shortage that followed the dissolution of the Habsburg monetary system. The Salzkammergut Druckerei in nearby Gmunden handled production for numerous surrounding communities during this period, which makes distinguishing between related local issues a minor but genuine cataloging headache.
Bürgermeister G. Leitner's signature appears alongside Gemeinderat M. Aicher — both manuscript, presumably signed in batches at the time of issue.
