St. Georgen im Attergau is a small market town in Upper Austria, and this 30 Heller note belongs to the enormous wave of Notgeld issued by Austrian municipalities between 1919 and 1921 — a direct consequence of the coin shortages that followed the collapse of the Habsburg monetary system. The Marktgemeinde printed these locally redeemable notes to keep small transactions functioning when official coinage had effectively disappeared from circulation.
The JPR0888 series from St. Georgen is modestly documented. Type IIa suggests at least one variant exists, differentiated typically by paper stock or overprint detail.
