| Comments |
Austrian Notgeld of this type emerged from a genuine small-change crisis. After 1918, hoarding of metal coins was near-universal, and municipalities across Lower Austria were left to print their own fractional currency simply to keep local commerce moving. Neumarkt an der Ybbs was one of hundreds of Marktgemeinden that stepped into that vacuum — the Heller denominations were authorized locally and carried no guarantee from Vienna.
The JPR0663b series suffix indicates a variant within the Neumarkt issue, likely distinguished by color, paper stock, or overprint detail rather than denomination alone.
