20 Heller St. Marienkirchen bei Schärding

Sankt Marienkirchen bei Schärding is a small Upper Austrian municipality that, like hundreds of similarly sized communities, was forced into emergency currency issuance during the acute small-change shortage that followed World War I. Federal and provincial authorities were slow to supply adequate coinage, leaving local governments — parishes, market towns, rural communes — to fill the gap with Notgeld of their own design and authorization.

The Jaksch/Pick reference JPR0910-20 places this squarely within the documented Austrian Gemeinde Notgeld corpus, though survivorship for rural 20-Heller pieces at this level of specificity is thin enough that census data remains incomplete.
