| Comments |
Waizenkirchen is a small market town in Upper Austria, and like hundreds of Austrian municipalities in 1920, it issued its own emergency small change — Notgeld — to compensate for the near-total disappearance of metal coinage after the First World War. These hyper-local issues were produced in enormous variety across the former Habsburg lands, and the Waizenkirchen 10 Heller falls squarely within that wave.
The "b" suffix in the Jaksch reference typically indicates a variant — most often a color or paper difference from the primary type. Worth confirming against a reference copy before attributing.
