| Comments |
Mittersill is a small market town in the Salzburg Pinzgau, and like hundreds of Austrian municipalities in the post-WWI period, it issued its own emergency paper money — Notgeld — to address the acute coin shortage that followed the collapse of the Habsburg economy. The 20 Heller denomination sits at the lower end of practical utility, intended for everyday small transactions when metal coinage had largely vanished from circulation.
The printed date of 30 April 1945 in the catalog data almost certainly reflects a later cataloging or administrative notation rather than the note's actual issue date — a 1920 Notgeld note physically printed in 1945 would make no historical sense.
