This listing is for the photographed Complete Set of 7 1920 Pochlarn Austria 10 to 80 Heller Notgeld. The notes in this set are 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, and 80 Heller, making it a complete set of all denominations issued in this municipality. They were issued in the Municipality of Pochlarn immediately following World War I as inflation raged through the defeated nation. Most other Austrian localities followed suit, resulting in many varied and specific Austrian "notgeld" from this time. Uncirculated (UNC) grade/condition, crisp notes! Great find with an interesting history! Rarer complete denomination set!

Emergency money printed in Germany and Austria immediately after WWI is widely known as "notgeld". The two countries experienced extreme periods of inflation and economic turmoil after their loss in WWI, resulting in municipalities, towns, and state-owned firms to issue their own emergency currencies. The notgeld would be issued with an expiration date, after which they would become invalid. These historically important souvenirs from the interwar periods are an interesting find, representing WWI history and Austria's economic downfall immediately after.

Thanks for stopping by!
