| Comments |
Zell am See issued its own emergency paper money — Notgeld — during the acute coin shortage that gripped Austria in the later years of World War I and its immediate aftermath. The Marktgemeinde operated as issuing authority, a common arrangement when the central government could not supply enough small-denomination coinage to keep local commerce moving. J. Sochar printed these locally, which was also typical of the series: small regional printers, often stationers or jobbing houses, produced runs that rarely circulated far beyond the issuing community.
The Jaksch/Pick JPR1270II designation places this within the second catalogued series for the town, suggesting an earlier issue preceded it.
