| Comments |
Neuhaus im Wienerwald is a small Lower Austrian municipality that, like hundreds of similar communities, resorted to printing its own emergency small change during the acute coin shortage that followed the First World War. These Gemeinde-issued Heller notes — Notgeld in the strictest sense — were authorised locally and signed by identifiable municipal officers: here the mayor (Bürgermeister), vice-mayor, and a councillor, all named on the note itself. That transparency was deliberate, tying personal accountability to paper that the community was being asked to trust.
The Jaksch/Pick reference JPR0646a places this firmly within the documented Austrian municipal Notgeld corpus, though Neuhaus examples surface infrequently in the market.
