80 Heller Bad Hall

Bad Hall, a small spa town in Upper Austria, was one of hundreds of Austrian municipalities forced to print their own emergency currency — Notgeld — after the collapse of the Habsburg monetary system left a catastrophic shortage of small-denomination coins in circulation. The 80 Heller value is an odd one; most Notgeld issues clustered around 10, 20, and 50 Heller, making this denomination worth noting as a local administrative choice rather than a standardized response.

The Jaksch/Pick reference IIa designation indicates a specific variant within the series — likely a paper or color distinction from at least one other known type.
