Ulrichsberg is a small market town in Upper Austria's Böhmerwald region, and this 10 Heller note is a product of the notgeld wave that swept through Austrian municipalities after the collapse of the Habsburg economy left the new republic chronically short of small change. The Gemeinde — not a bank, not a regional authority — issued these themselves, often printing on whatever stock was locally available.
The Jaksc catalogue reference places this within the broader Austrian local emergency coinage documentation. Many Ulrichsberg pieces were printed in very limited quantities and never reprinted once the national coin shortage eased in the early 1920s.
