| Comments |
Austrian Notgeld of this period was overwhelmingly printed by Vienna trade houses, so Edmund Huber printing locally in Haag itself is a minor but genuine anomaly. The Marktgemeinde issued these 20 Heller notes in 1920 as part of the broader small-change crisis that gripped Austria following the collapse of the Habsburg monetary system — coins had effectively vanished from everyday commerce, hoarded or melted, and hundreds of municipalities stepped into the void.
Huber's output for Haag is sparsely documented compared to the major Notgeld printers of the period.
