Sandl is a small parish commune in the Mühlviertel region of Upper Austria, and its 1920 Heller notes belong to the vast wave of Austrian municipal emergency currency — Notgeld — issued after the collapse of the Habsburg economy left small communities without adequate small change. The Gemeinde commissioned Rudolf Laber as designer and had the notes produced by Carl Jansen's art printing house in Vienna, a firm that handled a significant portion of the better-quality Austrian Notgeld output during this period.
Jansen's work for Mühlviertel communities is generally identifiable by its clean registration and consistent ink saturation — qualities that make the series more attractive to collectors than the rougher municipal printings from smaller regional presses.
