| Comments |
Bachmanning is a small village in Upper Austria, and like hundreds of similarly sized municipalities, it issued its own emergency small change — Notgeld — during the postwar currency chaos of 1920, when coin shortages made low-denomination transactions genuinely unworkable. These hyper-local issues were typically produced in tiny print runs, often by regional printers with no particular banknote experience, and were redeemable only within the issuing community.
The Jaksc/Pick reference suffix "Ib" indicates a specific paper or print variant within the Bachmanning series — worth distinguishing from sibling issues when building a complete run.
