20 Heller Götzendorf

Austrian Notgeld from the First World War period, issued by the market municipality of Götzendorf an der Leitha in Lower Austria. These small-denomination emergency issues filled a genuine gap — wartime hoarding of coins created acute shortages of small change across the Habsburg provinces, and thousands of local authorities responded with their own paper substitutes. The 20 Heller denomination was among the most practical for everyday transactions at the village level.

The Jaksch/Pick reference JPR0246IIa indicates a second series issue, suggesting at least one earlier printing preceded it.
