Hundsberg is a small village in Upper Austria, and like hundreds of similarly sized communities, it issued Notgeld during the acute coin shortage that followed the First World War. The 90 Heller denomination is an odd one — most Ortsgemeinde issues clustered around rounder values, and the choice of 90 suggests local price-fixing or change-making needs specific to this community's economy rather than any central directive.
Adolf Breitschopf's signature as the authorizing official is the only administrative trace most of these village issues left behind. The Jaksch/Pick reference confirms it as part of the documented Austrian Notgeld corpus, though surviving examples from minor Gemeinden at this denomination are consistently underrepresented in collections.
