| Opmerkingen |
Austrian Notgeld from the early 1920s occupies a strange corner of monetary history — not quite emergency currency, not quite souvenir, but increasingly both simultaneously. By 1920, many Austrian municipalities had shifted from printing purely functional small-change substitutes toward deliberately collectible issues, knowing full well that philatelists and Notgeld collectors would hoard them unspent. Altenberg's 50 Heller falls squarely in that transitional moment.
L. Haase is a name that appears across several Austrian local issues of this period, though documentation on the designer remains thin. The JPR0025b suffix indicates this is a variant within the Altenberg series — worth confirming whether the distinguishing factor is color, paper stock, or a typography change.
