St. Georgen im Attergau is a small market town in Upper Austria, and like hundreds of similar municipalities during 1919–1921, it issued emergency small change — Notgeld — to compensate for the near-total disappearance of coin from circulation following Austria's post-war economic collapse. The 99 Heller denomination is one of the odder values in the notgeld canon; most issuers stuck to round figures, and the 99 was sometimes chosen to avoid rounding conventions or to squeeze within a price-control threshold.
These local Austrian issues were printed in small runs, often by regional jobbing printers with no security printing experience. Paper quality and ink adhesion vary considerably across the series.
