20 Heller Saalfelden

Saalfelden's Heller notes belong to the vast wave of Austrian municipal notgeld issued after the First World War, when the collapse of the Habsburg monetary system left local governments scrambling to produce small-denomination emergency scrip. The market municipality issued these through Buchdruckerei Launith in Salzburg — a regional commercial printer, not a security press — which is exactly what you'd expect from a small Salzburg Land community working within tight postwar budgets.

The Jaksc/Pick reference JPR0859a-20 indicates this is one of multiple denominations in the Saalfelden series. Collector interest in Austrian Gemeinde notgeld varies sharply by locality and series completeness; Saalfelden issues are collectible but not among the scarcer municipal emissions from the period.
