| Comments |
Eferding's notgeld series belongs to the enormous wave of locally-issued emergency currency that flooded Austria in 1919–1921, prompted by a severe shortage of small coin as the new republic struggled to stabilize following the collapse of the Habsburg monetary system. The Stadtgemeinde — a small Upper Austrian town on the Danube with a population that barely justified its own printing run — produced these notes using local resources, which accounts for the characteristically modest production quality seen across the series.
The Jaksch/Pick reference JPR0152Vc places this as a sub-variety, suggesting the 30 Heller denomination exists in multiple distinguishable states — likely differing in signature, serial format, or minor typographic detail.
