| Comments |
Eferding is one of the oldest market towns in Upper Austria, but this note has nothing to do with civic pride — it exists because the postwar collapse of the Habsburg monetary system left small denominations in chronic short supply. Municipal and local authorities across Austria issued their own Notgeld in enormous quantities between 1918 and 1922 to plug the gap, and Eferding was no exception.
The revenue stamp security feature is characteristic of Austrian local emergency issues of this period, applied to deter copying rather than as a formal fiscal measure.
