St. Georgen im Attergau is a small market commune on the western shore of the Attersee in Upper Austria. This 20 Heller note is a Notgeld issue — emergency small-change scrip produced by Austrian municipalities during the acute coin shortage that followed the collapse of the Habsburg economy after 1918. The Salzkammergut-Druckerei in Gmunden was the obvious local choice for dozens of such commissions across the lake district, printing notgeld for communes that lacked both the infrastructure and the budget to go further afield.
The 1920 date places this firmly in the second wave of Austrian Notgeld, by which point many issues were being produced with an eye toward the collector trade as much as actual commerce.
