| Opmerkingen |
Mauthausen, at this point in the war, was a transit and holding facility for prisoners taken during the opening campaigns on the Eastern Front — overwhelmingly Russian and Serbian captives flooding an Austro-Hungarian administrative system wholly unprepared for the numbers. Camp scrip at this scale was a logistical response, not a monetary experiment: prisoners needed a means of exchange within the canteen system, and Austrian authorities needed to prevent imperial currency from circulating outside the wire.
The 1 Heller denomination is the lowest in the Mauthausen series, which itself is among the earliest documented Austrian PoW camp issues. Schwarz's countersignature as Verwaltungsoffizier — the administrative officer responsible for camp finances — appears alongside Nottes as Lagerkommandant, a dual-authorization arrangement common to military scrip of this period to discourage internal forgery.
