Aflenz is a small market town in Styria, and like hundreds of similarly sized Austrian municipalities, it resorted to printing its own emergency currency — Notgeld — in the years following the First World War, when small-denomination coins vanished entirely from circulation. The Austro-Hungarian monetary system had collapsed, metal had been consumed by wartime demand, and the new Republic of Austria could not fill the gap fast enough. Local administrations stepped in.
The Marktgemeinde Aflenz series of 1920 is a relatively obscure provincial issue. The "a" suffix on the Jaksch reference suggests at least one variant exists within the 50 Heller denomination — likely a color or printing difference rather than a date change.
