Eferding is a small Upper Austrian market town — population under three thousand even today — and its municipal food distribution office issuing scrip in 1920 puts this squarely in the Notgeld wave that swept Austrian and German communities after the postwar currency collapse left official small change functionally absent. The food office connection is specific: this wasn't general municipal scrip but tied to the administrative apparatus managing rationing and controlled distribution that persisted well into 1920.
Local printing in a town of this size almost certainly means a regional job printer working with whatever stock was available, which accounts for the variable paper quality seen across surviving examples of this series.
