| Comments |
One of countless Notgeld issues produced by Austrian municipalities during the post-WWI currency collapse, this 20 Heller note is unusual in being a joint issue between two separate communes — Sankt Leonhard am Forst and Ruprechtshofen — a cooperative arrangement that was not the norm for Lower Austrian emergency currency. The printing was handled locally by Rudolf u. Fritz Radinger in Scheibbs, a small press serving the Mostviertel region, rather than one of the Vienna houses that handled most provincial Notgeld runs.
