| Comments |
Krieglach, a small market town in the Styrian Mürztal, issued Heller Notgeld during the acute coin shortage that gripped Austria from around 1916 onward. Municipal scrip of this type was technically tolerated rather than formally authorized — the central authorities in Vienna disliked it but lacked the capacity to suppress thousands of local issues simultaneously. Krieglach is best known as the birthplace of Peter Rosegger, and some Styrian Notgeld issues leaned on that association for design cachet, though whether this particular note does so is a separate question.
The JPR catalog suffix "d" indicates a distinct variety within the 10 Heller denomination — likely a color or paper variant.
