Comments

Fuschl am See is a small lakeside village in the Salzkammergut, and like hundreds of Austrian municipalities during 1919–1922, it issued its own emergency paper currency — Notgeld — to address a genuine coin shortage rather than for philatelic novelty, though that distinction quickly blurred. The Salzburg regional issues of this period vary enormously in print quality and surviving numbers, with smaller communes often using local printers whose work shows it.

The JPR0215e designation within the Jaksch catalog places this among the documented Salzburg municipal series. Fuschl's population at the time was well under a thousand.
