20 Heller Mitterndorf

Austrian Notgeld, issued at the municipal level during the acute small-change shortage that followed World War I. Towns and villages across Austria printed their own emergency fractional currency between roughly 1919 and 1921 because coins had effectively vanished from circulation — hoarded, melted, or simply never reminted after the wartime disruption to the imperial monetary system.

Mitterndorf — likely Mitterndorf an der Fischa or Bad Mitterndorf in Styria — was one of hundreds of Ortsgemeinden that issued independently, making the Jaksc catalog the essential reference for untangling this flood of hyperlocal paper. The JPR0621IIb designation suggests at least a second variety exists within this denomination.
