| Comments |
Ennsdorf's 20 Heller notgeld dates from the Austrian municipal emergency currency wave of 1920–1921, when chronic coin shortages — a direct consequence of wartime metal requisitions and postwar monetary chaos — forced hundreds of small communities to print their own fractional scrip. Ennsdorf, a small municipality on the Enns river near Steyr, contracted the job to Emil Prietzel, a local Steyr printer who handled notgeld commissions for several surrounding communities during this period.
The JPR0178b designation indicates a variant within the Ennsdorf series, suggesting at least one other emission exists for comparison.
