The year '1919' appears on a ribbon banner at the top of the oval, while a scroll cartouche at the base bears the place name 'Eferding'; stylised floral corner ornaments embellish the four quadrants outside the oval. |

| Comments |
Eferding is a small Upper Austrian market town, and like hundreds of similar municipalities in 1919, it issued its own emergency small change — Notgeld — to fill the vacuum left by the collapse of the Austro-Hungarian monetary system after the armistice. These hyper-local issues were typically printed by whatever press happened to be available in town, which is why production quality varies so sharply even within a single series. The qualifier "small issue" in the catalog designation likely distinguishes this from a separate, larger-denomination or larger-quantity run from the same authority.
