| Comments |
Anzbach is a small market commune in Lower Austria, and this 50 Heller note is a product of the postwar Notgeld wave that swept Austrian municipalities between 1919 and 1921. With the Habsburg monetary system in collapse and small coinage essentially vanished from circulation, thousands of communes issued their own emergency paper. Anzbach was among the more modest participants — no elaborate series, no collector-targeted imagery of the kind that larger towns cynically produced for the philatelic trade.
Printed by Shwala's Druck in Vienna, a small commercial house that handled a number of provincial Notgeld contracts during this period.
