20 Heller Siezenheim

Siezenheim is a small village near Salzburg, and like hundreds of Austrian municipalities, it issued its own emergency paper money — Notgeld — during the severe coin shortage that followed the First World War. These hyperlocal issues were produced in tiny quantities for purely practical reasons: there was simply nothing smaller in circulation to make change. The designer credit "Hutter" is known from other regional Salzburg Notgeld, though the exact printing arrangement for Siezenheim's notes has not been definitively established.

Four signatories authenticated this note — the Bürgermeister and three named Gemeinderäte — which was typical for issues where the community itself stood behind the paper.
