Guntramsdorf's 20 Heller notgeld from 1920 belongs to the second wave of Austrian municipal emergency currency — issued after the wartime shortages of 1914–1918 had already normalized the idea of local paper, but now driven by postwar coin shortages and the collapse of the Habsburg monetary system. Small market towns across Lower Austria issued their own fractional paper during this window, and Guntramsdorf was among hundreds doing exactly this. The two signatories — Bürgermeister Joh. Lorenz and Finanzreferent Paul Perauer — signed in their official capacities, giving the note legal weight within the commune.
