| Comments |
St. Florian am Inn is a small market commune on the Austrian-Bavarian border, and like hundreds of similar municipalities it issued Notgeld during the postwar currency collapse to cover the catastrophic shortage of small-change coins. This 30 Heller note was printed locally by Josef Waltl of Linz, a commercial printer responsible for a considerable volume of Upper Austrian emergency issues during this period — not a specialist banknote firm, which shows in the workmanlike typography.
The dual signatures of Schwarzbauer and Perzinger represent the municipal authorization required to give these notes any standing at all. Legally, they were redeemable only within the issuing commune.
