| Comments |
Morzg was a small municipality immediately south of Salzburg, absorbed into the city proper in 1935. Like dozens of Austrian communes in 1920, it issued its own small-denomination emergency currency — Notgeld — to address a crippling shortage of metal coins following the collapse of the Austro-Hungarian monetary system. The 10 Heller denomination was among the most commonly needed for everyday transactions, which is precisely why so many municipalities printed them and why surviving examples from minor issuers like Morzg attract disproportionate collector interest.
The JPR0630a series is poorly documented, and production quantities for Morzg issues specifically are not recorded in the standard references.
