| Comments |
Pöchlarn is a small market town on the Danube in Lower Austria, and like hundreds of Austrian municipalities it resorted to printing its own emergency small-change notes — Notgeld — after the collapse of the Habsburg monetary system left coins effectively absent from everyday commerce. The 30 Heller denomination sits in the middle tier of this series, practical for market transactions where the larger values would have been excessive.
The Jaksch/Pick reference places this within the vast corpus of Austrian local Notgeld documented by catalogers working through municipal archives; many of these issues survive in surprisingly high numbers because collectors actively sought them out during the issue period itself, which paradoxically makes worn circulated examples harder to find than uncirculated ones.
