Ried bei Mauthausen is a small Upper Austrian municipality on the Danube, best known historically as a satellite community near the Mauthausen granite quarry. This 50 Heller note belongs to the vast wave of Austrian Notgeld issued between 1919 and 1921, when the collapsed Austro-Hungarian monetary system left local governments scrambling to produce emergency small-denomination currency that the new Republic simply could not supply fast enough.
The Jaksch catalogue number 0833a indicates this is the first variant in the Ried bei Mauthausen series — differences between variants typically involve color or minor typographic distinctions rather than design changes.
