| Comments |
Austrian Notgeld at its most local. The Ortsgemeinde Eben — a small commune in the Salzkammergut — issued these emergency Heller notes during the acute coin shortage that followed Austria's post-war economic collapse. Municipal bodies of almost any size were legally permitted to issue their own emergency currency from around 1919 onward, and hundreds did. Eben was among the smaller issuers, which generally means lower print runs and correspondingly fewer surviving examples today.
Franz Schmiedinger's signature as the authorizing official is the only individual recorded in connection with this issue.
