| Comments |
Bad Ischl's notgeld issues of 1920 belong to the second wave of Austrian emergency municipal coinage — by this point the chronic small-change shortage had pushed hundreds of spa towns, market communes, and industrial districts into printing their own fractional paper. Bad Ischl had particular motivation: as the former summer residence of Franz Joseph I, it depended heavily on tourist traffic, and a functioning petty-cash economy mattered more there than in comparable towns.
The JPR0077b series designation indicates a second variant within the Bad Ischl 1920 run — likely a color or printing difference from the 'a' type, though both are scarce in collector-grade condition given the disposable nature of Heller-denomination notgeld.
