Sankt Leonhard am Walde is a small Lower Austrian commune, and this 50 Heller Notgeld was issued — like thousands of similar municipal pieces across Austria — to address the acute small-change shortage that followed the First World War. What distinguishes this particular note is the local production chain: printed by F. Kielar in nearby Amstetten rather than one of the larger Vienna houses, and designed by Anton Rohrhofer, almost certainly a local figure rather than a professional commercial artist. Three signatories appear — the Bürgermeister, Vicebürgermeister, and a Gemeinderat — an unusual triple-signature arrangement for a note of this denomination.
