| Comments |
Eferding is a small market town in Upper Austria, and like hundreds of similarly sized municipalities, it issued its own Notgeld during the postwar currency crisis rather than wait for Vienna to stabilize the krone. The issuing authority here is specifically the Lebensmittelausgabestelle — the food distribution office — which places this note firmly in the context of rationing administration rather than conventional municipal finance. It was a payment token for provisioning, not general commerce.
Printed by Pusa in Linz, with design credited to L. Haase jun. — a local hand, not a specialist Notgeld printer.
