20 Heller Leonding

Leonding was a small market commune outside Linz — notable today mainly as the town where Adolf Hitler spent part of his adolescence and where his parents are buried. In 1920, it was notable for nothing much, which makes its decision to issue emergency small change entirely characteristic of the era. Austria's postwar coin shortage was severe enough that hundreds of municipalities printed their own Notgeld, most of it redeemed and pulped within a few years.

Hans Wunder's design credit is unusually specific for a municipal issue at this scale. Local printer attribution for Leonding is consistent with the JPR cataloguing for this series.
