| Comments |
St. Georgen im Attergau is a small market commune on the western edge of the Attersee in Upper Austria, and this 50 Heller note is a product of the Notgeld wave that swept Austria's rural municipalities in the immediate postwar years. With the new Republic's finances in disarray and small coin all but vanished from circulation, communes at every level — including ones this modest — were legally permitted to issue their own emergency paper. The Salzkammergut-Druckerei in nearby Gmunden served as the practical printer for several of these local issues.
The JPR0889a designation places this within the Jaksch-Pick Austrian Notgeld cataloguing framework.
