| Anmerkungen |
Windegg is a small locality in Upper Austria, and like hundreds of similarly sized Austrian municipalities, it issued Notgeld during the severe coin shortage that followed the First World War. The 20 Heller denomination places this squarely in the first wave of Austrian emergency money, when postal and small commercial transactions had ground to a near halt for want of small change.
Municipal Notgeld of this type was typically authorized under a loose framework — local councils printed what they needed, backed by nothing more than community trust and the expectation of eventual redemption. Many issues were never fully redeemed when the inflationary collapse of the Austrian krone made the face values irrelevant within a few years.
