| Comments |
Mitterndorf's emergency notes — Notgeld — were issued during the acute small-coin shortage that gripped Austria in the years immediately following the collapse of the Habsburg monarchy. The denomination in Heller, rather than Kronen, reflects the transitional monetary moment: Heller-denomination coinage had effectively vanished from circulation well before the war ended, making even trivial transactions difficult in small resort towns like this one.
The Jaksc subcategory IIc indicates a distinct printing variant within the Mitterndorf series — differences in paper stock, ink, or overprint details that catalogers have been able to separate with confidence.
