Mitterndorf's 80 Heller Notgeld occupies an unusual denomination slot — 80 Heller notes were far less common than the 10, 20, or 50 Heller pieces that dominated Austrian municipal emergency issues of this period. The post-WWI Notgeld wave forced hundreds of small Austrian Gemeinden to print their own fractional currency when coin simply vanished from circulation, hoarded against runaway inflation or melted for metal value.
The Jaksc/Pick reference suffix "IIc" suggests this is a third variant within the second major type of the Mitterndorf series — small differences in ink color, paper stock, or stamp placement typically distinguish these sub-varieties, and collectors should examine the official stamp impression carefully, as fading or partial strikes are common on this issue.
