Allerheiligen im Mühlkreis is a village of a few hundred souls in Upper Austria's Perg district — exactly the kind of community that found itself issuing Notgeld when postwar coin shortages stripped small-denomination currency from everyday transactions. The 30 Heller value is characteristic of the fractional emergency notes that flooded rural Austria between 1920 and 1921, filling the vacuum left by a monetary system in collapse after the dissolution of the Habsburg empire.
R. Neudorfer's design credit is rare enough to be worth noting — most Gemeinde-level Notgeld from Upper Austria was produced without named designers, submitted to regional printers who worked from stock templates. That a village this small commissioned identifiable artwork suggests some local pride in the production, unusual for purely utilitarian emergency issue.
