Oberalm is a small village south of Hallein in Salzburg province. This 75 Heller note belongs to the vast Notgeld phenomenon that swept Austria between 1919 and 1922, when chronic coin shortages following the collapse of the Habsburg monetary system forced even minor municipalities to issue their own emergency scrip. Gemeinde Oberalm had no particular banking infrastructure — these were printed locally or through regional printers and validated by the municipal stamp.
The 75 Heller denomination is among the less common face values in Austrian municipal Notgeld, most series favouring 10, 20, and 50 Heller increments.
