| Comments |
Upper Austria's 1921 Heller notgeld belongs to the tail end of Austria's municipal and provincial emergency currency wave — by this point the Viennese central authorities had repeatedly attempted to suppress local issues, with limited success. Provincial governments continued printing simply because the alternative, waiting for adequate coin and small-denomination paper from Vienna, was not workable.
The watermarked paper is notable for a notgeld of this size and value; most Heller-denomination issues from comparable Austrian municipalities skipped security features entirely.
