Comments

Viechtwang is a small rural commune in Upper Austria, and like hundreds of similarly sized municipalities it issued Notgeld during the severe coin shortage that followed the First World War. The 80 Heller denomination is slightly irregular — most Austrian municipal issues clustered around rounder values — which may reflect a specific local pricing need rather than simple arbitrary choice.

The Jaksc/Pick reference JPR1109-80.2 suggests a second type exists for this denomination, meaning Viechtwang produced at least two distinct versions of its 80 Heller.
