Altaist is a small rural commune in the Perg district of Upper Austria, and this 110 Heller note is a product of the Notgeld wave that swept Austrian municipalities between 1919 and 1921. The denomination is characteristically awkward — 110 Heller sits at an odd value that reflects genuine small-change shortages rather than any collector-oriented design strategy, though by 1920 the line between emergency currency and deliberate philatelic issue had already blurred considerably in Austrian municipal Notgeld practice.
B. Langhammer of Linz handled a substantial volume of Upper Austrian communal issues during this period, printing for dozens of small parishes that lacked the resources or connections to reach Vienna-based printers.
