Sarleinsbach is a small market town in Upper Austria, and this 20 Heller note is a product of the Notgeld wave that swept Austria during and after the First World War. Municipal authorities across the country — including hundreds of tiny communities — were forced to issue their own small-denomination emergency currency when the central supply of coins collapsed under wartime metal requisitions. Marktgemeinde Sarleinsbach was among the most minor of issuers, which makes survivorship genuinely uneven.
Franz Jetschgo signed as the authorizing official. The JPR reference places this firmly within the Jaksch catalog of Austrian local issues.
