20 Heller Senftenberg

Austrian Notgeld at the communal level was a symptom of the catastrophic coin shortages that followed the dissolution of the Habsburg monarchy. Senftenberg, a small Lower Austrian market town, issued this 20 Heller note in 1920 under the same emergency authority that permitted hundreds of municipalities to produce their own fractional currency when the central government simply could not supply enough small change.

The Jaksch/Pick reference places this within the JPR0993f series — the suffix indicating a distinct design or print variant within Senftenberg's Notgeld output, which collectors should verify carefully against plate details before cataloging.
