| Comments |
Goldwörth is a small village in Upper Austria, and this 50 Heller note is a piece of Austrian Notgeld — emergency municipal scrip issued during the economic chaos that followed the First World War. Hundreds of Austrian communes printed their own small-denomination notes between 1919 and 1922 when coin disappeared from circulation almost entirely. Kleinert, based in nearby Ottensheim, handled design work for several local issues in the region.
The reference date of 30 April 1945 in the catalog data is almost certainly a cataloging or data-entry anomaly — the note belongs to the 1920 Notgeld series, not to the final day of the Second World War.
