| Comments |
Austrian municipal notgeld of this denomination is unusual. The 80 Heller value sits outside the common 10, 20, 50 Heller runs that most Gemeinden issued during the postwar currency shortage, suggesting Grünau was filling a specific gap in local small-change circulation rather than issuing a decorative series for collector sale — a distinction that matters for understanding actual use.
Franz Huemer's signature as issuing authority identifies the Bürgermeister. Upper Austrian notgeld from small rural communes in 1920 was often produced by local printers on whatever stock was available, and paper quality on these varies considerably within the same issue.
