Rutzenham is a village in Upper Austria with a population that, even today, barely clears a few hundred. That a municipality this small issued its own emergency currency in 1920 is less surprising than it sounds — the postwar collapse of the Austro-Hungarian monetary system left communities across Austria scrambling to produce Notgeld when coin simply vanished from circulation. Hundreds of parishes and market towns did the same, many commissioning locally printed scrip of varying quality.
The Jaksch corpus documents this as JPR0858-20, one of what was almost certainly a small, purely functional run intended to make change at the village level until the new Austrian krone stabilized enough to restore normal coin flow.
