| Comments |
Eizendorf is a small Lower Austrian village, and like hundreds of similar communities it issued Notgeld during the acute coin shortage that gripped Austria from 1916 onward. These municipal emergency issues were printed locally or through regional printers in tiny runs, often on whatever paper was available — quality and consistency varied considerably within a single series.
The JPR reference places this within the Jaksch-Pick catalogue of Austrian Notgeld, a classification system that runs to thousands of entries for communities no larger than a few hundred souls. Twenty Heller was among the most common denominations issued at this level.
