Oeblarn is a small village in Styria, and this 60 Heller note is a product of Austria's Notgeld emergency — the acute coin shortage that followed the collapse of the Habsburg monarchy left municipalities across the former empire scrambling to print their own small-denomination scrip between roughly 1919 and 1921. Gemeinde Oeblarn issued these locally under the same legal framework that produced thousands of similar municipal notes across German-speaking Austria.
The Jaksch/Pick reference places this within the broader Styrian Notgeld corpus. Collector demand for regional Austrian Notgeld has always been driven more by geographic completeness than rarity, and Oeblarn issues are not among the scarcer village printings.
