Altenburg bei Perg is a small rural commune in Upper Austria, and this 20 Heller note belongs to the vast wave of municipal Notgeld issued across Austria between 1919 and 1921 when small-denomination coinage effectively vanished from circulation. The postwar coin shortage was severe enough that hundreds of villages — many with no banking infrastructure whatsoever — were legally permitted to print their own emergency fractional currency. Königshofer signed as Bürgermeister, giving the note its local legal authority.
Rural commune issues from Upper Austria tend to survive in smaller quantities than the more aggressively distributed tourist Notgeld from larger towns, which were printed in bulk and sold as collectibles from the outset.
