Giesshübl bei Wien is a small spa village in the Wienerwald, and like hundreds of Austrian municipalities in 1920, it resorted to printing its own Notgeld when the postwar coin shortage left small transactions nearly impossible. The 95 Heller denomination is an oddity — most Notgeld ran to round figures, and the choice of 95 suggests this was calibrated against a specific local price or tariff rather than issued as general-purpose small change.
Wehnofers Erben in nearby Mödling handled a number of regional emergency issues during this period. The designer credit to R. Wild is uncommon enough to be worth noting — most village Notgeld went unsigned.
