| Comments |
This is an Austrian Notgeld issue — emergency municipal scrip printed during the postwar currency vacuum that gripped small communities across Austria between 1919 and 1922. The central government's inability to supply adequate coinage in small denominations pushed hundreds of municipalities to print their own. Alberndorf, a modest rural parish in Upper Austria, issued this 50 Heller note under the joint authority of Bürgermeister Michael Wöckinger and his deputy Ignaz Danninger.
Municipal Notgeld of this type was typically produced in very small runs by local printers, making survival rates erratic and series documentation incomplete.
