| Comments |
Dietrichschlag bei Leonfelden is a small rural commune in Upper Austria, and this Heller note is a product of the postwar Notgeld wave that swept Austrian municipalities between 1919 and 1922. With the old Habsburg monetary system in collapse and small coinage effectively vanished from circulation, even villages with no banking infrastructure were left to print their own fractional currency. F. Kling operated out of Urfahr — then a separate town on the north bank of the Danube, not yet absorbed into Linz — making this a product of a printer serving the provincial interior rather than any major financial center.
