Sankt Florian is a market commune in Upper Austria best known as the site of the Augustinian monastery where Anton Bruckner worked as an organist and was later buried. The 80 Heller denomination is an odd one — most Austrian Notgeld issues from this period clustered around 10, 20, and 50 Heller, making 80 an unusual fractional choice, likely driven by practical change-making gaps rather than any policy logic.
These locally printed Notgeld pieces were authorized under the postwar Austrian emergency, when small-denomination coinage had effectively vanished from circulation. Most commune issues were printed in very limited runs and redeemed quickly, which means survival rates vary sharply from town to town.
