Goisern is a market town in the Salzkammergut, and this 1920 Heller note is a product of the acute small-change crisis that gripped Austria after the collapse of the Habsburg economy. The postwar shortage of coin drove hundreds of Austrian municipalities to issue their own Notgeld, with local printers pressed into service for denominations that the state simply couldn't supply fast enough. Priezel of Steyr — a competent regional printer — handled several of these municipal commissions in Upper Austria.
The Jaksc reference places this firmly within the documented JPR series, which helps authenticate pieces that might otherwise be dismissed as ephemera.
