| Comments |
Anif is a small village immediately south of Salzburg, and its municipal notgeld issues are among the more carefully produced local emergency money from the Austrian provinces. The third printing of this 20 Heller note was handled by E. & W. Möller, a Salzburg-based commercial printer responsible for several regional notgeld commissions during the postwar currency shortage years, when municipalities across the former Habsburg lands were forced to issue their own fractional paper to fill the vacuum left by disappearing coin.
The designer credit to Hutter — almost certainly a local commercial artist rather than a known printmaker — is consistent with how smaller Salzburg-area communes sourced their designs cheaply and quickly. Third-issue status implies the first two printings had already been exhausted in circulation, suggesting heavier local demand than many comparable village issues.
