Enzesfeld is a small Lower Austrian municipality that issued this Heller note as part of the vast Notgeld wave that swept Austrian communes between 1919 and 1921. The federal government's inability to supply small-denomination coinage after the collapse of the Habsburg monetary system forced thousands of communities — down to villages of a few hundred residents — to print their own emergency currency. F. Seitenberg, operating out of Vienna's third district, was one of the smaller commercial printers who picked up this municipal work.
The JPR0179a designation suggests at least one variant exists within the Enzesfeld series.
