| Comments |
Austrian Notgeld of this type was a direct consequence of the postwar coin shortage — by 1920, small denomination coins had essentially vanished from circulation, hoarded or melted, forcing hundreds of municipalities to print their own emergency paper. Gaming is a small market town in Lower Austria, in the Ötscherland region, and its Gemeinde issued these Heller notes under the same legal framework that briefly legitimized thousands of such local emissions between 1919 and 1921.
The JPR0220b suffix indicates a variant within the Gaming series, likely differentiated by color, text, or serial detail rather than denomination alone.
