| Obverse description | The left panel of the note, printed in violet on white paper, carries the denomination numeral '75' at top left within a small box, with the word 'Heller.' in bold below, and the value spelled out vertically in cursive script reading 'Fünfundsiebzig Heller.' A handwritten signature appears at lower left above the issuing authority reference 'der Bürgerm.' The right portion is occupied by a large dark vignette of the municipal coat of arms, with two winged putti as supporters holding a banner inscribed 'BÜRGER WAPPEN' above a crowned heraldic shield; the header inscription identifies the note as '75 Heller Gutschein d. Gemeinde St. Agatha' with the validity clause 'Gültig bis 30./9.20.' |

Austrian municipal notgeld, issued by the commune of Sankt Agatha in Upper Austria during the severe coin shortage that followed the First World War. Thousands of these small-denomination emergency notes were produced by towns, villages, and businesses across the former Habsburg territories between roughly 1919 and 1921 — the Heller denominations in particular were a direct response to the near-total disappearance of low-value coinage from everyday commerce.
The Jaksch/Pick reference places this in the well-documented JPR series for Upper Austrian communes. Collector demand for this specific 75 Heller value tends to be modest relative to the more visually elaborate Kunstnotgeld issues produced for the philatelic market.
