| Comments |
Austrian Notgeld issued by tiny municipalities like Bodendorf flourished between 1920 and 1922 as chronic small-coin shortages forced local governments to print their own fractional currency. The federal government tolerated the practice but never formally sanctioned it, leaving redemption obligations entirely at the issuing community's discretion — which meant many notes were simply never redeemed.
Jos. Wachlinger designed several Notgeld issues for Carinthian municipalities during this period. The JPR0096 series for Bodendorf runs across multiple denominations and color variants, with the "IIc" suffix indicating a specific printing state within that run.
