Moosdorf is a small municipality in Upper Austria, and this 80 Heller note belongs to the vast wave of Notgeld issued by Austrian communes between 1919 and 1921 to address the acute small-change shortage that followed the collapse of the Habsburg monetary system. The denomination itself — 80 Heller — is characteristically awkward, chosen to fill the gaps left by denominations the central authorities simply could not supply fast enough.
Signed by Bürgermeister Esterlauer, whose name appears on no other widely documented series, this is strictly a local instrument with no broader banking infrastructure behind it.
