Peuerbach is a small market town in the Hausruckviertel district of Upper Austria, and this 60 Heller note is a product of the postwar Notgeld wave that swept through Austrian municipalities between 1919 and 1922. The collapse of the Habsburg monetary system left local governments scrambling to fill a coin shortage — small denomination metal currency had effectively vanished from circulation, hoarded or melted, and towns like Peuerbach issued their own emergency paper to keep local commerce functioning.
Upper Austrian Notgeld of this period was typically printed by regional presses on whatever stock was available, and quality varies considerably across the series. The 60 Heller denomination is specific to this municipality's own valuation scheme.
