| Comments |
Aurolzmünster is a small market town in Upper Austria, and this 50 Heller note is one of the Notgeld issues that flooded Austria between roughly 1919 and 1922, when coin shortages following the collapse of the Habsburg empire left municipal authorities printing their own emergency fractional currency. Thousands of Austrian communes did the same, making individual attribution to a specific designer — here credited to Bitterer — relatively unusual at this level of issue.
The JPR0069b designation suggests at least one variant exists within the series.
