Garsten is a small market town in Upper Austria, adjacent to Steyr, and its municipal notgeld issues from 1920 belong to the broader Austrian emergency money phenomenon that followed the collapse of the Habsburg economy after 1918. Coin shortages were severe enough that hundreds of individual municipalities printed their own fractional paper — most in very small runs, often by local printers with limited means.
The Jaksc catalog is the specialist reference for Austrian notgeld, and this 60 Heller denomination sits in the middle range of the Garsten series. Small-municipality issues like this were frequently redeemed and destroyed within months of the stabilization period, which keeps surviving quantities genuinely low despite the modest original face value.
