60 Heller

Firsching is a tiny rural settlement in Upper Austria — a Rotte rather than a proper Marktgemeinde — which makes its issuance of a Notgeld certificate genuinely unusual. The 60 Heller denomination sits in the middle of the Notgeld range, suggesting the commune was trying to address a specific gap in small change availability rather than issuing a full series for collector revenue, though by 1920 that distinction had blurred considerably.

Franz Brandstätter's signature as issuing authority is the only anchor of accountability on a note backed by nothing more than local municipal trust — and the creditworthiness of an Austrian commune in 1920, with hyperinflation accelerating, was not a reassuring proposition.
