Windhag bei Waidhofen an der Ybbs is a small Lower Austrian municipality, and this 20 Heller note is a Notgeld issue — local emergency currency printed during the acute coin shortages of the First World War and its immediate aftermath. Thousands of Austrian parishes issued their own small-denomination scrip between roughly 1916 and 1922, and the vast majority were printed by regional job printers like F. Kielar of Amstetten rather than any specialist security press. Three municipal signatures — Vicebürgermeister, Bürgermeister, and a Gemeinderat — gave the note its local legal weight.
