Thalgau is a small market town in the Salzburg Flachgau, and this 10 Heller note is a product of the acute small-change famine that paralyzed daily commerce in Austria following the First World War. The collapse of the Habsburg monetary system left municipalities with no practical means of making change, and hundreds of Austrian towns and communes issued their own emergency paper — Notgeld — between 1919 and 1921. Thalgau was among the smaller communities to do so, printing through E. u. K. Müller of Salzburg rather than one of the larger Vienna-based houses.
Franz Hueber's signature as authorizing official gives this note its local legal standing, thin as that standing was outside the township's own market.
