Aurach am Hongar is a small Upper Austrian village, and this 20 Heller note is a product of the Notgeld wave that swept rural Austria in 1920 when chronic small-coin shortages forced even minor municipalities to print their own emergency currency. The presence of two vice-mayors alongside the Bürgermeister on the signature line — Staudinger and Landeshammer both signing — is unusual and likely reflects a deliberate effort to shore up local confidence in paper that had no backing beyond civic goodwill.
The Jaksc catalogue designation JPR0068a confirms this as part of the documented Upper Austrian municipal series, though Aurach issues surface rarely enough that attribution occasionally causes confusion with neighboring Attersee district notes.
