The centre carries the voucher legend in bold letterpress typeface, with the issuing authority 'der Ortsgemeinde Hart' set in a prominent display face below the value. A single line of smaller text records the redemption deadline and an anti-counterfeiting warning, followed by the printed signature line of the Ortsvorsteher.

Comments

Austrian Notgeld of the early 1920s was overwhelmingly a local affair — communes, towns, and market parishes issuing their own small-denomination emergency paper when coinage disappeared from circulation during and after the First World War. Hart's 90 Heller note fits squarely within this wave, authorized under the same municipal emergency powers exercised by hundreds of Austrian Ortsgemeinden between roughly 1919 and 1922.

The 90 Heller denomination is atypical. Most Notgeld issues clustered around 10, 20, 50, and 80 Heller — 90 was chosen by relatively few issuers, which gives this note marginal but real interest to denomination specialists.
