50 Heller Gerersdorf

Gerersdorf is a small Lower Austrian village, and this note is a product of the postwar Notgeld wave that forced thousands of Austrian municipalities to print their own fractional currency between 1919 and 1921 — the consequence of a coin shortage so severe that small transactions became practically impossible. F. Seitenberg was a Vienna printer active in this market, producing runs for numerous rural communes that lacked the means or population to justify bespoke engraving.

Three signatories authenticated this issue: the Bürgermeister, the Vizebürgermeister, and a Gemeinderat — unusually thorough for a village of this size.
