| Comments |
Guntramsdorf's 30 Heller notgeld dates from the chaotic period following Austria's postwar currency collapse, when municipalities across Lower Austria were forced to issue their own emergency small change because coins had entirely disappeared from circulation — hoarded, melted, or simply never reminted after the war. The Marktgemeinde issues were legal under the tolerant stance taken by the Austrian government toward municipal notgeld in 1919–1920, provided they carried an official seal and were redeemable locally.
The 30 Heller denomination is an odd one — most Austrian notgeld clusters around 10, 20, and 50 Heller — suggesting genuine local need rather than speculative collector issue.
