| Comments |
Austrian municipal notgeld from the early 1920s occupies an odd corner of paper money history — these issues weren't driven by municipal ambition but by a genuine coin shortage so severe that hundreds of Lower Austrian villages printed their own fractional currency. Eggendorf's 20 Heller, produced by the Linz printer L. Hubbe, is a local solution to a systemic problem that the central government in Vienna was too stretched to solve quickly in the aftermath of the empire's collapse.
The Jaksc/Pick reference JPR0165b-20 places this within the documented series, the "b" suffix typically denoting a variant within the Eggendorf issues.
