Altaist is a small rural municipality in Upper Austria, and this 110 Heller note is a product of the postwar Notgeld wave that flooded Austria between roughly 1919 and 1921. The denomination is characteristically odd — 110 Heller notes appear occasionally in Upper Austrian Notgeld issues because they were pegged to cover specific transaction values as coin shortages bit hard in the months after the collapse of the Habsburg monetary system.
B. Saughammer was a Linz-based printer responsible for a number of Upper Austrian municipal emergency issues during this period. The square format is notable — most Notgeld ran oblong.
