Comments

Golling an der Salzach was one of hundreds of Austrian municipalities that issued Notgeld during the postwar economic chaos, when small change effectively ceased to exist in normal commerce. These locally printed emergency issues filled a genuine gap — national coinage had been hoarded, melted, or simply stopped being produced in useful quantities.

Three signatures on a village-level heller note is unusual and suggests a formal attestation process the municipality took seriously, or was required to demonstrate.
