| Comments |
Traismauer is a small market town on the Danube in Lower Austria, and like hundreds of similar municipalities it issued its own Notgeld during the postwar currency chaos of 1919–1921 when small-denomination coins effectively vanished from circulation. The Heller had been the Austrian Empire's smallest unit, and by 1920 the new republic could not mint enough to meet demand — so towns printed their own.
Guberner & Hierhammer operated out of Vienna's fourth district, Wieden, and handled a significant volume of municipal emergency issues from this period. The JPR1078II designation indicates this is the second type catalogued for Traismauer's 10 Heller, suggesting at least one earlier issue preceded it.
