Steinakirchen am Forst is a small market town in Lower Austria, and this 10 Heller note is one of the Notgeld issues that flooded Austria between roughly 1919 and 1921, when coin shortages left municipal governments scrambling to produce their own small-change substitutes. E. Prietzel was a regional Steyr printer with no particular prestige — workmanlike output, local distribution, and almost no export beyond the immediate area.
The Jaksc catalogue reference places this firmly in the Austrian municipal Notgeld classification. Steyr-printed issues from small Lower Austrian communities tend to survive in higher numbers than their actual circulation warranted, because collectors were already hoarding them before redemption deadlines passed.
