| Comments |
Euratsfeld is a small municipality in Lower Austria, and this 20 Heller note is a product of the Austrian Notgeld wave that followed the acute coin shortage of World War One. Local governments, cooperatives, and even individual businesses issued their own small-denomination emergency money when the central authorities could no longer supply enough coinage for daily transactions. Franz Klelar's print shop in nearby Amstetten handled production for several of these municipal issues in the region.
Robert Leitner's involvement as designer is worth noting — local Notgeld frequently recruited schoolteachers, postmasters, or amateur artists, and the quality varied accordingly.
