| Opmerkingen |
Melk's 20 Heller notgeld of 1920 belongs to the second wave of Austrian municipal emergency currency — issued well after the armistice, when the postwar coin shortage persisted far longer than anyone had anticipated. By 1920, many larger cities had already wound down their notgeld programs, but smaller Niederösterreich communes like Melk were still printing to cover the chronic lack of small change that Vienna's mints simply could not address fast enough.
The Jaksc/Pick reference JPR0605II designation places this in the second series for the municipality, suggesting Melk had already exhausted an earlier issue before returning to print.
