| Opmerkingen |
Liechtenstein issued its own emergency small-change notes in 1920 because the newly independent Austrian state had cut off the coin supply that had previously circulated freely across the region. The principality had no central bank and no mint — these Heller notes were a stopgap, issued by the government itself rather than any banking institution, to address a shortage of everyday transactional coinage.
The series is scarce simply because Liechtenstein's population at the time was under 8,000. Total print runs were tiny, and the notes were withdrawn once the 1923 customs union with Switzerland stabilized the currency situation.
