Klein-Pöchlarn is a small market town on the south bank of the Danube in Lower Austria, and this 20 Heller Notgeld is one of several denominations the Marktgemeinde issued during the acute coin shortage that plagued Austria in the years immediately following the collapse of the Habsburg monarchy. Municipal and local authorities across the former empire filled the vacuum themselves, producing small-denomination emergency paper in enormous variety. Most were printed locally in short runs, which accounts for the significant condition variation that survives across the series.
The JPR reference places this within the Jaksch cataloguing of Austrian Notgeld — a collecting area where local printshop idiosyncrasies and paper quality differences between runs of the same note are well documented.
