Comments

Klausen-Leopoldsdorf is a small forested municipality in the Wienerwald, southwest of Vienna, and this Heller note is a product of the acute coin shortage that paralyzed rural Austria in the immediate postwar years. The collapse of the Habsburg monetary system left municipal governments across the former empire printing their own emergency currency — Notgeld — simply to make change for daily transactions. F. Seitzberg was a Vienna-based printer that handled a number of these small-run municipal issues during the period.

Both signatories held office simultaneously: Anton Tolkesch as Bürgermeister, Karl Schöndorfer as his deputy. The dual-signature requirement was procedural, not ceremonial.
