| Comments |
St. Georgen im Attergau is a small market town on the western shore of the Attersee in Upper Austria. This 50 Heller note belongs to the vast wave of Austrian Notgeld issued between 1919 and 1921, when chronic coin shortages forced municipalities — many of them tiny — to print their own low-denomination emergency scrip. The Marktgemeinde had no printing house of its own; such notes were typically produced by regional commercial printers working from simple typeset layouts.
The Jaksch reference JPR0888Ia places this within a documented local series, suggesting at least one other denomination was issued concurrently.
