| Comments |
One of hundreds of Heller-denomination notgeld issues that flooded the Austrian market during the severe coin shortage of 1918–1921, this piece was produced by the Hainburger Gewerbekasse — a registered cooperative trade and savings institution rather than a municipality. That distinction matters: commercial cooperative issues were less systematically catalogued than civic ones, and survival rates vary considerably depending on whether the issuing body kept records or simply let redemption lapse.
Printed locally by Winkelmann in Hainburg an der Donau, the note never left its immediate district in circulation.
