Oeblarn is a small market village in the Enns valley of Styria, and this 60 Heller note is one of the thousands of Austrian municipal emergency issues — Notgeld — that flooded the country after the collapse of the Habsburg economy. The chronic coin shortage of the early postwar years forced even tiny parishes to print their own small-denomination scrip to keep local commerce functioning.
The Jaksch catalogue is the primary reference for Styrian Notgeld. This particular denomination sits in a series that saw limited redemption, and surviving pieces frequently show fold wear consistent with actual pocket circulation rather than collector hoarding.
