Imbach is a tiny village in Lower Austria, administratively part of Rohrendorf bei Krems, and almost certainly had no business issuing its own emergency currency. Yet during the Notgeld wave that swept the former Habsburg territories after 1918, even settlements with a few hundred residents produced their own paper — partly from genuine small-change shortage, partly from the philatelic trade that had already made Notgeld collection fashionable by 1920.
By the time this 20 Heller note was issued, the acute coin shortage that originally justified Notgeld had largely passed. Most 1920 issues from Lower Austrian communes were printed speculatively for collectors rather than to meet any real monetary need.
