| Comments |
Schlatten was a small German-speaking village in Bohemia, and this note is one of hundreds of Heller-denomination municipal issues that flooded Central Europe after 1918 when the collapse of the Austro-Hungarian Empire left local administrations scrambling to fill a brutal small-change shortage. By 1920, the new Czechoslovak crown was technically in circulation, but coins remained scarce enough that municipalities still commissioning Vienna printers for emergency paper was entirely rational.
K. Piller produced a substantial volume of these Notgeld-style issues for Bohemian communities in the immediate postwar years. The JPR0105b designation indicates a variant within the Schlatten series.
