20 Heller Mattighofen

Mattighofen's Heller notgeld belongs to the vast wave of Austrian municipal emergency money issued during and immediately after WWI, when metal coinage effectively vanished from circulation. Small market towns were left to fend for themselves, and local authorities printed their own fractional notes with whatever printing resources were available regionally — quality and durability varied enormously as a result.

The JPR reference places this within the Jaksch corpus of Austrian notgeld documentation, the standard scholarly catalog for this material. The "d" suffix indicates a distinct variety within the 20 Heller Mattighofen issues — likely a paper stock, color, or overprint variation rather than a separate emission date.
