Comments

Neuhof's 75 Heller notgeld was issued by the local commune during Austria's acute postwar coin shortage, when municipal and corporate bodies across the country stepped in to produce emergency small-denomination scrip that the central monetary authorities simply could not supply in quantity. Franz Himmelbauer's signature as issuing official gives this a documentary precision unusual for village-level notgeld, where authorization signatures were frequently rubber-stamped or entirely omitted.

The Jaksch/Pick reference 0647lla places this within the catalogued Austrian notgeld corpus, though commune-level Heller issues from small Lower Austrian settlements like Neuhof survive in uneven numbers — redemption was patchy, and many pieces were simply kept as curiosities rather than returned.
