| Comments |
Eben is a small municipality in Upper Austria, and this 30 Heller note is one of the Notgeld issues that flooded rural Austrian communities between 1919 and 1921 when small coin coinage effectively vanished from circulation following the dissolution of the Habsburg monetary system. The Ortsgemeinde — the local parish commune — had no banking apparatus behind it, only the authority of local administration and the signature of Franz Schmiedinger, almost certainly the Bürgermeister or a senior municipal official at the time.
The Jaksch/Pick reference places this within the vast catalogued corpus of Austrian local emergency money, though Eben's issues are among the less frequently encountered examples from the Salzkammergut region.
