Austrian municipal emergency money — Notgeld — flooded the country between 1919 and 1922 as postwar coin shortages made small-denomination transactions nearly impossible. Lilienfeld, a small Lower Austrian market town, issued its own fractional scrip in multiple color variants, with the green series representing one of the three known printings for the 20 Heller value. The JPR reference system used by Jaksch is the standard for Austrian Notgeld and distinguishes these color variants as separate catalog entries rather than sub-varieties.
Municipal issues of this type were printed locally or by small regional firms, and production quality varies considerably within a single series.
