Grieskirchen's 20 Heller notgeld belongs to the vast flood of municipal emergency money issued across Austria between 1919 and 1921, when the collapse of the Habsburg monetary system left small towns functionally without usable small change. The city printed its own rather than wait for Vienna to sort out the mess — a decision made by hundreds of municipalities simultaneously, which is precisely why Austrian notgeld of this period exists in such bewildering variety.
Johann Straßer signed as Bürgermeister. Local printing, local authority, local problem.
