Viehdorf is a small Lower Austrian municipality near Amstetten, and this 10 Heller note is a product of the Notgeld wave that swept Austrian communities after the collapse of the Habsburg economy left small change almost impossible to find. The printer, J. Kielas, was a local Amstetten firm — exactly the kind of regional job printer that municipalities across Austria relied on when the Vienna establishments were overwhelmed with similar commissions.
Three signatories were required: the Bürgermeister, the Vizebürgermeister, and a Gemeinderat — an unusually full quorum of municipal authority for a 10 Heller piece.
