| Comments |
Austrian municipal notgeld of this period exists in enormous quantity, but the Asperhofen 20 Heller is one of the smaller village issues — Asperhofen itself had a population of only a few hundred at the time. C. Queiser of Amstetten was a regional commercial printer, not a specialist banknote firm, and the results across this class of local emergency currency vary considerably in execution. Designer A. Rohrhofer is otherwise unattested in the major notgeld reference literature.
These notes were redeemable by the issuing municipality and were never legal tender beyond the village level.
