Meggenhofen is a small Upper Austrian village — population well under a thousand even today — and this 20 Heller note is one of the thousands of Notgeld issues that proliferated across Austria between 1919 and 1922 when small-change coinage vanished almost entirely from circulation. The postwar collapse of the Habsburg monetary system created a vacuum that municipalities, businesses, and even individual farms filled with locally printed scrip of wildly varying quality and trustworthiness.
Jaksch-catalogued Austrian Notgeld from communities this small rarely saw wide distribution beyond the issuing parish. Redemption outside Meggenhofen itself would have been essentially impossible.
