Weissenbach an der Triesting is a small market village in Lower Austria, and like hundreds of Austrian municipalities in the early 1920s, it resorted to issuing its own emergency scrip — Notgeld — as the postwar coin shortage made small transactions nearly impossible. The 20 Heller denomination sits squarely in the range most needed for everyday commerce: bread, transit, minor market purchases.
R. Roteiser was a Vienna commercial printer, not a specialist banknote firm. Municipal Notgeld of this type was typically produced in short runs, and survival rates vary sharply between issues — smaller communities often printed fewer notes and saw higher attrition through casual discard once the shortage eased.
