| Comments |
Haibach bei Aschach is a small rural commune on the south bank of the Danube in Upper Austria. This 80 Heller note belongs to the vast wave of Austrian Notgeld issued between 1919 and 1921, when municipal authorities across the country printed their own fractional emergency currency to address a chronic shortage of small-denomination coins following the collapse of the Habsburg monetary system. Thousands of communes did the same — the sheer volume printed means most denominations survive in quantity.
Johann Hinterhölzl's signature as authorizing official is the only individual record this particular issue preserves.
