Heidenreichstein is a small market town in the Waldviertel region of Lower Austria, and this 20 Heller note is a product of the acute small-change famine that gripped Austria in the years immediately following the collapse of the Habsburg Empire. The new Austrian state had neither the institutional capacity nor the metal stocks to mint sufficient coinage, so hundreds of municipalities issued their own Notgeld — locally authorized emergency scrip — to keep daily commerce moving.
Three signatories authenticated this note: the Bürgermeister, the Vize-Bürgermeister, and a member of the municipal council. That triple signature requirement was typical of the legal caution these towns exercised, knowing the scrip had no backing beyond local trust.
