Anthering is a small village in the Flachgau district north of Salzburg, and like hundreds of similarly modest Austrian municipalities, it issued Notgeld during the currency disruptions that followed World War One — a period when small-denomination coins vanished from circulation almost entirely due to hoarding and metal shortages. The Gemeinde had neither the resources nor the need for elaborate printing, so the commission went to S. u. K. Müller, a local Salzburg house.
F.X. Stadler's involvement as designer is a modest local detail — Müller drew on regional illustrators for much of this work. The JPR0046a classification suggests at least one variant exists within the Anthering 50 Heller series.
