| Comments |
Anthering is a small village north of Salzburg, and this 50 Heller note is typical of the Notgeld wave that swept Austrian municipalities between 1919 and 1921 — local authorities printing emergency fractional currency to address the catastrophic coin shortage that followed the collapse of the Habsburg monetary system. S. u. K. Müller was a Salzburg-based printer responsible for a cluster of these regional issues, which gives notes from the surrounding communes a detectable family resemblance in typography and layout.
F. X. Stadler's involvement as designer is documented for this series. The Jaksch/Pick reference JPR0046f-50 places this among the later Anthering emissions of 1920.
