Hello to All ,

Hi , i was given this a few years ago by a late friend . His father collected it while serving in the R.A.F during World War 2 (or so i believe )

I've no idea what it is or where it came from . I chose it because i like the colors and size .

I was wondering if you could use your expertise to give me it's origin .

Many Thanks .

    This is a 20 Heller Notgeld (Emergency Money) issue (1920) from Vienna, Austria.

    This seems a pretty mellow and forgiving lot over in this forum. Haven't seem the vitrous flame threads I see in other forums. I think if it's numismatically related, folks here probably don't care too much - it all seems great fun!

    Thanks for posting the pic, BTW. I have heard about these, but haven't seen them. Nice photo.

    Cheers,

    Bob

    Austrian Notgeld...

    Great image and welcome. Notgeld seems to have its own little niche. I collect some of the German Notgeld like this... well looks like the images are no longer availableimage

    Experience the World through Numismatics...it's more than you can imagine.
