| Comments |
A joint issue between two small Upper Austrian municipalities — an arrangement that was itself unusual, even within the freewheeling Notgeld years. The Kleinert press in Ottensheim handled a number of regional emergency issues during this period, and the four-signature format here reflects the administrative reality of a dual-authority note: two signatories per municipality, each lending their name to validate the instrument.
The 30 Heller denomination sits in the middle of the typical Notgeld range but was not among the most common face values — issuers often favored 10, 20, and 50 Heller for practical change-making purposes.
