| Comments |
Schärding's 60 Heller Notgeld was among the wave of municipal emergency currency that flooded Austria between 1920 and 1922, when the central government could not produce sufficient small-denomination coinage to meet everyday demand. Stadtgemeinde Schärding turned to the local printer J. Vees — a practical choice that kept costs down and turnaround fast, though it placed the design and presswork firmly in the hands of a commercial jobbing printer rather than a specialist banknote firm.
Printed and redeemable within the same small Inn-river border town, this note's circulation radius was almost certainly measured in city blocks.
