| Opmerkingen |
Altenfelden is a small market town in the Mühlviertel region of Upper Austria, and its 1920 Heller note belongs to the vast wave of Austrian municipal Notgeld produced during the currency chaos that followed the collapse of the Habsburg Empire. With the new Austrian crown deeply unstable and small-denomination coins having disappeared from circulation entirely, thousands of municipalities — many of them genuinely tiny — printed their own emergency scrip to keep local commerce moving. Altenfelden was among the smaller issuers.
The 10 Heller denomination was among the most common in this flood of local paper, and most were redeemed and destroyed within a year or two of issue, which is why surviving examples in any condition tend to attract collector interest disproportionate to their face value.
