| Comments |
Hundsberg is a small parish community in the Salzburg-border district of Upper Austria, and this 90 Heller note is a product of the Notgeld wave that swept Austrian municipalities between 1919 and 1921 — a direct consequence of the coin shortages that followed the collapse of the Habsburg monetary system. Local Ortsvorsteher Adolf Breitschopf's signature carries the full legal weight here; these were municipal obligations backed by nothing more than community trust and the expectation of eventual redemption.
The 90 Heller denomination is atypical. Most Notgeld issues clustered around round figures; an odd value like this usually points to a specific local pricing need rather than a standardized issue.
