| Reverse description | The reverse bears the municipal coat of arms of Strasswalchen at the left, a shield divided diagonally with three stylised chain-links, captioned 'STRASSWALCHEN.' beneath. To the right, a block of Gothic-script text sets out the redemption declaration, the place and date of issue, and the names of the two Bürgermeisters; a final line at the foot warns against counterfeiting. |

| Comments |
Austrian municipal notgeld of this type emerged from a specific practical failure: the postwar collapse of small-denomination coinage left rural communities unable to make change for basic transactions. Strasswalchen, a market town in the Salzburg district, printed its own emergency pfennig-range scrip in 1920 alongside dozens of other Gemeinden doing exactly the same thing.
The JPR1047a series is among the more plainly produced of the Salzburg municipal issues — no elaborate local-artist designs of the kind that turned some Austrian notgeld into deliberate collectibles. The signatories Franz Leikermoser and Hr. Traugott almost certainly held local administrative posts, though neither appears in wider numismatic documentation.
