75 Heller Weinviertel 1920

Weinviertel is a region in Lower Austria, not a single municipality, which makes this note's issuer designation slightly unusual — most Austrian Notgeld of this period was issued by specific towns or villages rather than by a broader district designation. The 75 Heller denomination places it squarely in the inflationary Notgeld wave of 1920, when small-change shortages across rural Austria forced local authorities, co-operatives, and civic bodies to print their own emergency currency.

Josef Schober's signature as the responsible signatory suggests a local council or administrative head rather than a banking officer. These notes were typically redeemable for a limited window before being declared void — many were never redeemed at all, which is partly why collector survivorship rates are disproportionately high relative to actual circulation.
