| Comments |
Austrian municipal notgeld from the immediate postwar period, when the collapse of the Habsburg economy left local governments scrambling to produce their own small-denomination scrip to cover the acute coin shortage. Eggendorf is a small Lower Austrian commune; that a settlement of this size was commissioning printed notes from a Linz printer in 1920 speaks to how thoroughly the central monetary system had broken down.
L. Haase of Linz handled a significant volume of Upper and Lower Austrian notgeld contracts during this period. The JPR0165d designation indicates this is one of several Eggendorf denominations in the series.
