| Opmerkingen |
The Mittelstands-Wirtschafts-Genossenschaft was a middle-class commercial cooperative — the kind of quasi-banking mutual society that proliferated in Austrian provincial towns during the postwar collapse of the krone. By 1920, small-denomination coinage had effectively vanished from daily commerce, hoarded or melted, and cooperative societies, municipalities, and even individual merchants began issuing their own Notgeld to keep transactions moving. This 25 Heller piece from Linz is a product of that breakdown, not of any formal monetary authority.
The Jaksc/Pick reference JPR0550-25 places it firmly in the Austrian emergency money corpus, though cooperative-issued Notgeld of this type received far less scholarly attention than the municipal series.
