this banknote is as rare as a German notgeld in the Netherlands. It is printed in between 1919 and 1923. Translation says that the Gemeinde (= village) Mauthausen gives 4 weeks of guarantee that this banknote is worth 20 heller within the bounderies of the village. It is not worth much, as there is no demand for it, also in Austria! Therefore cheap, $0.50-$ 2.00.
It is the same village where in the second world war the Konzentrationslager Mauthausen (concentrationcamp)was situated for political prisoners in 1938, prisoners of war until 1942, and eventually French jews on their way to Auschwitz.
