| Opmerkingen |
Ockert is a small locality in Lower Austria, and this 20 Heller note is a product of the Notgeld wave that swept Austrian municipalities after the collapse of the Habsburg economy in 1918. The central government could not supply enough small-denomination coins to meet everyday transactional needs, so thousands of towns and parishes — many of them genuinely tiny — were formally authorized to print their own emergency scrip. Three signatories were required: the mayor, the deputy mayor, and the executive councillor, all of whom signed this issue.
The Jaksc catalogue reference 0702a places Ockert among the lesser-documented Lower Austrian issuers, and the 20 Heller denomination suggests this was intended for small retail use — bread, postage, tram fares.
