60 Heller Grödig

Austrian Notgeld of the 1920–1921 period emerged from a genuine coin shortage — the collapse of the Habsburg monetary system left municipalities across the former empire scrambling to issue their own fractional emergency money. Grödig, a small community just south of Salzburg, was one of hundreds of Gemeinden that participated, producing locally printed scrip to keep commerce moving at the village level.

The Jaksc catalog remains the primary reference for Austrian Notgeld, and the "a" suffix here indicates a distinct printing variant within the 60 Heller denomination — worth checking against the known color and paper differences that distinguish it from any subsequent issues.
