Sankt Agatha bei Wels is a small rural parish in Upper Austria, and this 20 Heller note belongs to the enormous wave of Notgeld issued by Austrian municipalities between 1919 and 1921. The postwar collapse of the Habsburg monetary system left small communities without adequate coin for everyday transactions — the Vienna-struck copper and nickel had largely vanished into hoarding — so thousands of towns and villages printed their own emergency fractional notes to keep local commerce moving.
The single signature, Altenhofer, almost certainly represents the Bürgermeister or an authorized municipal official rather than a banking officer. No bank was involved.
