Grossraming is a small market commune in Upper Austria's Enns valley, and this 60 Heller Notgeld was issued in 1920 as part of the broader Austrian municipal emergency currency wave that followed the collapse of the Habsburg monetary system. The small Weyer printer Herdina-Peter handled several local Notgeld commissions in the region during this period — a practical choice given the near-impossibility of reaching larger urban printers amid postwar disruption.
The designer credit to Wittwer is the more unusual detail here. Local Notgeld commissions occasionally drew on schoolteachers, municipal clerks, or amateur artists rather than professional engravers, and the attribution suggests this note's design originated locally rather than through a catalogue template.
