St. Georgen im Attergau is a small market town in Upper Austria, and this 80 Heller note belongs to the vast wave of Austrian municipal Notgeld issued between 1919 and 1921 when central coinage essentially vanished from everyday commerce. The denomination itself — 80 Heller — is slightly unusual; most communes gravitated toward round figures, and the choice here likely reflects a specific local pricing gap rather than any administrative formula.
Three signatories authenticate the note: the Bürgermeister, his deputy, and a cashier — the full quorum of municipal financial authority for a community this size.
