| Comments |
Eferding's 30 Heller notgeld of 1920 belongs to the second wave of Austrian municipal emergency currency, issued as the postwar coinage shortage dragged well into the early republic years. The printer, Pöba of Linz, handled a substantial volume of Upper Austrian notgeld during this period — a regional concentration that gives these small-town issues a coherent production quality rarely seen in the more improvised German equivalents.
The designer credit to L. Haase jun. is worth noting. Local notgeld commissions frequently went to commercial artists working through regional print houses, and Haase appears linked specifically to the Linz trade.
