30 Heller Grödig

One of thousands of Austrian municipal emergency notes — Notgeld — issued after the collapse of the Habsburg economy left small communities without adequate coin for everyday transactions. Grödig, a village at the foot of the Untersberg near Salzburg, produced its own fractional scrip rather than wait for central banking infrastructure that wasn't coming anytime soon. Zaunrieth was a Salzburg printer active across multiple local Notgeld commissions in this period, handling the practical demands of municipalities with modest budgets and urgent needs.

Three signatories on a 30 Heller note is notably bureaucratic for such a small denomination — typical of how seriously parish councils took the legal formality of self-issued currency, even when the face value was negligible.
