St. Aegyd am Neuwald is a small market town in Lower Austria's Lilienfeld district, and this 50 Heller note is a Notgeld issue — emergency small-change currency produced by Austrian municipalities between roughly 1914 and 1922 to fill the void left by the hoarding and disappearance of metal coinage during and after the First World War. Thousands of Austrian communes issued their own, and the signed authority of the Bürgermeister, here Fritz Wagner, was the sole guarantee of redemption.
