| Comments |
Austrian Notgeld of this type emerged from a practical crisis: the postwar coin shortage was severe enough that municipalities, businesses, and even individual estates printed their own fractional emergency notes between roughly 1919 and 1922. Eben am Achensee, a small Tyrolean village, issued this 75 Heller note under the authority of its Ortsgemeinde — the local parish commune — signed by Franz Schmiedinger, presumably the Bürgermeister or a designated treasury official at the time.
Tyrolese Notgeld from small alpine communes is notably harder to source than the better-documented Viennese or Styrian issues, and Eben's series rarely surfaces in quantity.
