| Opmerkingen |
One of hundreds of Austrian municipal Notgeld issues produced in the chaotic period following the collapse of the Habsburg Empire, this note was printed by V. Langhammer in Linz on behalf of the small Upper Austrian market town of Eferding. The acute coin shortage of 1918–1920 forced local authorities across the former empire to issue their own small-denomination emergency money — the central government simply could not produce enough Heller coinage to meet everyday transactional needs.
Eferding's population at the time was well under 3,000. That a town this size was operating its own currency, however temporarily, speaks to how completely the postwar monetary infrastructure had broken down.
