| Comments |
This note is part of the Austrian Notgeld phenomenon — the explosion of locally issued emergency scrip that followed the collapse of the Habsburg monetary system after 1918. With central currency chronically scarce and small-denomination coinage virtually absent from circulation, thousands of Austrian municipalities printed their own stopgap issues between roughly 1919 and 1921. Neumarkt an der Ybbs was one of hundreds of market towns that went this route.
Ernst Hrahal was a Steyr-based printer responsible for a number of regional Notgeld issues across Upper and Lower Austria. The JPR0663a series from Neumarkt exists in multiple denominations, the 10 Heller being the lowest.
