| Comments |
Neuhofen an der Krems was one of hundreds of Austrian market towns that issued small-denomination Notgeld during the severe coin shortage that followed the First World War. These local emergency issues were authorized under a general framework that allowed municipal bodies to fill the gap left by the near-total disappearance of metal coinage from everyday commerce — copper and nickel had been requisitioned for the war effort and never returned in usable quantity.
The JPR0648a designation places this within the Jaksch-Pick Notgeld reference, the standard catalog for Austrian municipal issues of this period.
