Lorch — the Roman settlement of Lauriacum, once capital of the province of Noricum Ripense — issued this Heller note during Austria's postwar Kleingeldersatz crisis, when fractional coinage had vanished entirely from circulation. These municipal emergency notes, Notgeld in the strictest sense, were printed by local jobbing presses with no pretense of security printing. Buchdruckerei Dnas was precisely that: a small commercial printer pressed into quasi-monetary work.
The 0564b suffix in the Jaksch catalogue indicates a variant within the Lorch series, likely a paper stock or color distinction from an otherwise identical issue.
