Hörsching is a small market commune in Upper Austria, and like hundreds of comparable municipalities, it issued Notgeld during the acute coin shortage that gripped Austria from 1916 onward. The 10 Heller denomination was the workhorse of local emergency coinage substitutes — small enough to cover everyday transactions that metallic currency had effectively abandoned.
The JPR0399d series designation places this within the Jaksch catalog of Austrian municipal Notgeld, where Hörsching's issues are among the more obscure provincial entries. Surviving pieces tend to show heavy use.
