| Comments |
Eggerding is a village in Upper Austria with a population that would not have filled a modest concert hall, which makes the local authority's decision to issue its own emergency currency in 1920 a revealing measure of just how completely Austria's postwar monetary supply had broken down. The Heller, by this point, had been inflating rapidly since the collapse of the Habsburg crown system, and municipalities across the region were filling the coin vacuum with Notgeld of their own devising.
L. Haase of Linz printed several of these municipal issues. Validity depended on an official stamp applied after printing — without it, the note was legally worthless.
