Inzersdorf am Kamp is a small Lower Austrian village, and like hundreds of similar municipalities across Austria between 1919 and 1922, it issued its own emergency small change — Notgeld — to fill the vacuum left by the chronic coin shortage that followed the collapse of the Habsburg monetary system. The 50 Heller denomination was among the most common face values for this type of local issue, needed for everyday transactions that federal coinage simply could not support.
Franz Pöllhuber signed as Bürgermeister. These village-level issues were typically printed in small runs by regional printers and redeemed locally — survival depends almost entirely on whether collectors intercepted them before redemption.
