Eggenberg was an independent municipality west of Graz until its absorption into the city in 1938. This 50 Heller note belongs to the vast wave of Austrian Notgeld issued during and after the First World War, when the collapse of the Austro-Hungarian monetary system left municipal authorities printing their own small-denomination emergency scrip to cover the chronic shortage of coins in everyday trade.
The JPR reference places it within Jaksch's Austrian local issue catalogue — a series so numerically dense that many individual Gemeinde issues survive in single-digit quantities today.
