Kasten is a small village in Lower Austria, and this 50 Heller note is a product of the Austrian Notgeld wave that followed the collapse of the Habsburg economy after the First World War. Coins vanished from circulation almost entirely by 1919–1920 as metal was hoarded and the new republic struggled to establish a functioning monetary supply, forcing hundreds of municipalities — including ones as minor as Kasten — to print their own emergency small change.
Gross of St. Pölten was a regional commercial printer, not a specialist security firm, which is exactly what you'd expect from a village-level issue scrambling to fill a practical gap.
