| Comments |
Austrian municipal notgeld from the postwar emergency period, issued by the small community of Altenburg near Perg in Upper Austria when fractional coinage had effectively vanished from circulation. The single Königshofer signature suggests a one-man administrative operation — not unusual for a village-level issuer in 1920, where the local mayor or treasurer often doubled as the sole authorizing signatory.
The JPR0026b-20 reference places this within Jaksch's regional notgeld catalog, which documented hundreds of similarly obscure Upper Austrian municipal issues, most printed in tiny runs and redeemed within months.
