| Comments |
Eggenburg is a small walled town in Lower Austria, and like hundreds of Austrian municipalities it resorted to printing its own emergency small-change notes — Notgeld — during the severe coin shortage that gripped Austria from around 1916 onward. The Pressevereinsdruckerei was a local press operation, meaning this note was designed, printed, and circulated entirely within the same town, an unusual degree of self-sufficiency even by Notgeld standards.
The JPR0162b designation indicates this is the second variety of the 50 Heller denomination within the Eggenburg series — differences between varieties typically involve minor typographic or color changes rather than plate redesigns.
