| Comments |
One of thousands of Austrian municipal Notgeld issues produced during the coin shortage that followed the First World War, this 10 Heller piece from Helpfau-Uttendorf is notable for carrying three signatures — Bürgermeister Fuchs flanked by both Vizebürgermeisters, an unusually heavy endorsement for a fractional emergency note. The printer, Josef Stampfl & Comp. operating under Leop. Höglinger, was a local Braunau am Inn firm, and the proximity of that town to the issuing municipality kept production costs minimal.
The "b" suffix in the Jaksc/Pick reference indicates a variant within the series — likely a paper stock or signature configuration difference from the "a" type.
