| Comments |
Ober-Wölbling is a small market settlement in Lower Austria, and this 50 Heller note is a product of the postwar Notgeld wave that swept Austria in 1920 — municipalities issuing their own emergency small change because the national monetary system had simply stopped supplying it. The printer, Buchdruckerei Herzogenburg, was a local press in the nearby town of Herzogenburg, roughly five kilometers away, which handled Notgeld commissions for several communities in the region during this period.
The Heller itself was already a dying unit by 1920, abolished in the Austrian monetary reform of 1925.
