Comments

Hacklbrunn is a small locality in Upper Austria, and this 75 Heller Notgeld is among the more obscure municipal emergency issues of the postwar inflationary period — produced when the collapse of the Austro-Hungarian monetary system left small communities unable to obtain adequate coin for everyday transactions. The Ortsgemeinde, meaning the local community administration, took it upon itself to authorize Franz Schaumberger as signatory, almost certainly a local official rather than a trained banker.

The Jaksc/Pick reference 0323lla places this within a documented but thinly catalogued series. At 75 Heller, this is an unusual denomination — most Austrian municipal issues clustered around 10, 20, and 50 Heller values.
