Irdning is a small market town in the Enns valley of Styria, and this 30 Heller note is a Kriegsgeld — wartime emergency money issued by a local business rather than a municipal authority. Fa. August Dangl, at the time under proprietor F. Schneider, was almost certainly a general merchant or hardware dealer; Austrian Kleingeld shortages after 1914 pushed countless small traders into the role of unofficial money printers, with varying degrees of official tolerance from district authorities.
Notes of this type rarely survived in quantity — they were redeemed locally, worn out quickly, or simply discarded once the shortage eased.
