| Comments |
Hadersdorf-Weidlingau was a small municipality on the western edge of Vienna — absorbed into the city proper in 1938 — and this 20 Heller note is a product of Austria's postwar Notgeld crisis, when the collapse of the Habsburg economy left even village councils scrambling to produce their own small-denomination emergency scrip. M. Engel & Söhne operated out of Vienna's 7th district and handled a considerable volume of municipal Notgeld printing during this period, which makes their output identifiable but rarely distinguished.
The Jaksch/Pick reference JPR0326-20 places it firmly within the documented Austrian communal issues.
