| Comments |
August Dangl was a private trading firm in Irdning, a small market town in the Enns valley of Styria. Like hundreds of similar Austrian merchants and municipalities, the business issued small-denomination Heller notes during the acute coin shortage that gripped Austria-Hungary from 1916 onward — military hoarding of metal coinage had stripped everyday commerce of anything useful for making change.
These Notgeld issues were never formally authorized by the Austro-Hungarian state; they operated on local trust alone. The Jaksc corpus documents dozens of Styrian private issuers at this level, most surviving only in tiny quantities.
