| Comments |
Haag am Hausruck is a small market town in Upper Austria, and this 20 Heller note is a piece of Notgeld — the emergency municipal scrip that flooded Austria between roughly 1919 and 1921 when the collapse of the Habsburg monetary system left small denominations effectively absent from circulation. Thousands of Austrian towns issued their own, and the series varies wildly in quality and ambition.
The printed date of 30 April 1945 is almost certainly a catalog or transcription error — Austrian municipal Notgeld of this denomination had no reason to exist in the final days of World War II, and the 1920 issue year aligns with the documented Jaksc/Pick reference.
