| Comments |
Austrian municipal notgeld of this type was a direct consequence of the postwar coin shortage — by 1920, small denomination coins had all but vanished from everyday commerce, forcing hundreds of local authorities to print their own fractional paper. Loosdorf, a small market town in Lower Austria, was among the many that contracted regional printers rather than waiting on Vienna. E. Prietzel of Steyr handled a substantial volume of notgeld work for nearby communities during this period.
The JPR0563a designation indicates this is the catalogued variant within the Loosdorf 1920 series — multiple denominations were typically issued together as a matched set.
