| Comments |
Oberhollabrunn — now simply Hollabrunn — was a small Lower Austrian market town that, like hundreds of Austrian municipalities, issued its own emergency paper money (Notgeld) in the postwar chaos following the collapse of the Habsburg Empire. The coin shortage of 1919–1921 was severe enough that even minor district capitals had to print fractional notes to keep local commerce moving. The Stadtgemeinde series from this town is among the more modestly produced of the Lower Austrian municipal issues — no elaborate vignettes, no celebrated printer.
The Jaksch/Pick JPR0683a designation places this firmly within the documented Austrian Notgeld corpus, though surviving examples in any condition are infrequently traded.
