30 Heller Bad Hall

Bad Hall, in Upper Austria, was a spa resort whose iodine-rich brine springs had been commercially exploited since the mid-19th century. Like hundreds of Austrian municipalities in 1920, it issued its own Notgeld to cover the chronic small-change shortage that persisted well after the armistice — the Austro-Hungarian monetary system had been badly disrupted, and the new Republic of Austria had not yet stabilized coin supply at the local level.

The Jaksch/Pick reference JPR0076IIa designates this as part of the second series from the commune. The 30 Heller denomination was among the more common fractional values issued across Upper Austrian Notgeld, though Bad Hall's issues have a modest collector following tied to the town's identity as a Kurort.
