| Comments |
Austrian Notgeld issued by a private merchant rather than a municipal authority — Hans Kaiser of Kapelln an der Perschling signed off on this 50 Heller note during the small-change crisis that gripped Austria from around 1916 onward, when hoarding stripped coins from everyday commerce entirely. Shopkeepers, innkeepers, and traders across Lower Austria filled the vacuum themselves, often commissioning local printers to produce runs of a few hundred or few thousand pieces.
The Buchdruckerei Herzogenburg was a workhorse regional press. Straightforward job printing, no specialist security features.
