1 Heller Grödig - Eisenwerk

Eisenwerk Grödig was an ironworks operation in the village of Grödig, just south of Salzburg, and like hundreds of Austrian industrial firms during the First World War it issued its own small-denomination emergency currency — Kriegsnotgeld — to pay workers when official coinage simply ceased to circulate. The imperial government's metal requisitions had stripped copper and nickel from everyday commerce, and 1-Heller pieces effectively vanished. Factory scrip filled the gap.

The Jaksch/Pick reference JPR0291-01 places this firmly within the documented Austrian Notgeld corpus, though survival rates for single-digit Heller industrial issues are uneven — plant closures and post-war redemptions saw most destroyed before collectors took serious notice.
