Hartkirchen is a small municipality in Upper Austria, and this 25 Heller note is a piece of Austrian Notgeld — emergency small-change currency issued by towns and communes during the economic disruptions that followed the First World War. The 1920 date places it within the main wave of Austrian municipal Notgeld issues, when coins had effectively vanished from circulation due to hoarding and metal shortages.
The printed date of 30 April 1945 is almost certainly a catalog or documentation date, not a printing date — that day was the final hours of the Third Reich, an implausible moment for a 1920 Austrian Heller note to be going to press.
