Lofer is a small market town in the Salzburg district of St. Johann, and like hundreds of similar Austrian municipalities during World War One, it issued its own emergency small change — Kriegsnotgeld — when coin metal was requisitioned for the war effort and low-denomination currency effectively vanished from circulation. These local issues were authorized under wartime emergency provisions, with each Marktgemeinde responsible for its own redemption guarantee, which varied wildly in reliability.
Wagner of Innsbruck handled a significant volume of Tyrolean and Salzburg municipal notgeld, making their output recognizable to regional collectors. The JPR0560c series suggests at least three distinct Lofer issues exist — the "c" suffix placing this among the later variants.
