Mauthausen's 5 Heller Notgeld belongs to the vast wave of municipal emergency money that Austrian towns were forced to produce after the collapse of the Habsburg monarchy left the new republic with a catastrophic small-change shortage. The central government simply could not supply enough low-denomination coin to keep local commerce moving, so individual Gemeinden were authorized — loosely — to print their own.
The official stamp is the only security measure standing between this note and outright counterfeiting, which tells you everything about the economic desperation and the limited technical resources available to a small Upper Austrian market town in 1920.
