Gröbming is a small market town in the Enns valley of Styria, and this 60 Heller note is a product of Austria's postwar Notgeld wave — the massive proliferation of locally issued emergency currency that flooded the country between roughly 1919 and 1921 as the successor states of the Habsburg empire struggled with coin shortages and monetary chaos. Hundreds of municipalities issued their own Heller denominations during this period, most printed in small runs on whatever paper stock was available locally.
The 60 Heller denomination is slightly unusual — most municipal issues clustered around 10, 20, and 50 Heller.
