50 Heller Sankt Peter am Wimberg 1920

Sankt Peter am Wimberg is a small rural commune in Upper Austria's Mühlviertel region, and like hundreds of similarly modest municipalities, it issued its own emergency currency — Notgeld — during the acute coin shortage that followed Austria's defeat in the First World War. The federal government was simply unable to keep small-denomination coinage in circulation, leaving local authorities to fill the gap with self-issued scrip valid only within their own jurisdictions.

The Jaksch/Pick reference JPR0926-50 places this firmly within the catalogued Austrian municipal Notgeld series, though surviving examples from villages of this size are genuinely uncommon — print runs were small, redemption periods short, and most notes were turned in and destroyed once the crisis passed.
