| Comments |
Hinzenbach is a small village in Upper Austria, and this note is a product of the Notgeld wave that swept Austrian municipalities after the First World War — a period when small-denomination coins had essentially vanished from circulation, hoarded or melted, leaving communities to print their own emergency pfennig-scale substitutes. The commune contracted Lanz, a local printer in the nearby market town of Eferding, rather than one of the Vienna houses that handled larger regional issues.
The Jaksch/Pick reference JPR0378IIa designates the 25 Heller denomination within a multi-value series from Hinzenbach. Provincial Notgeld printed by small-town presses on short runs survives unevenly — Lanz's output for the surrounding Eferding district is less documented than the better-catalogued Viennese printers.
