Klein-Pöchlarn is a small market town on the Danube in Lower Austria, directly across the river from Pöchlarn. This note is a Notgeld issue — emergency municipal scrip produced during the acute coin shortage that gripped Austria in the years immediately following the collapse of the Habsburg Empire. Hundreds of Austrian municipalities printed their own small-denomination paper in this period, and the Heller denominations in particular were workhorses of daily local commerce when metal coinage had effectively vanished from circulation.
The JPR0457c suffix indicates a distinct variety within the Klein-Pöchlarn series, likely differentiated by color, serial, or paper stock.
