Offenhausen is a small market commune in Upper Austria, and this 20 Heller note is a product of the Notgeld wave that swept Austrian municipalities between 1919 and 1921 — a direct consequence of the currency chaos following the collapse of the Habsburg monarchy. With the new Austrian state unable to supply sufficient small coinage, thousands of towns issued their own emergency paper in fractional Heller denominations. Most were printed locally or through regional jobbers at minimal cost.
Johann Graf's signature as issuing authority places this squarely in local municipal administration. The Heller itself was abolished in 1924 when Austria redenominated, rendering all such notes void.
