| Comments |
Fuschl am See issued this note under the Notgeld wave that swept Austrian municipalities after the collapse of the Habsburg economy left the country chronically short of small change. Z.J. Kral was a Vienna-based printer responsible for a substantial portion of the provincial Notgeld output from Salzburg and Upper Austria — competent commercial work, not the artistically ambitious collector-targeted Serienscheine that some larger towns produced to extract philatelic revenue.
The Heller denomination was already functionally obsolete by 1920, with rampant inflation eating through low-value coins almost faster than they could be struck.
