| Comments |
Hadersdorf am Kamp is a small Lower Austrian wine-growing town on the Kamp river, and like hundreds of similar municipalities it was forced into emergency currency production during the severe coin shortage of the First World War. The Austro-Hungarian central authorities could not supply enough small change to keep local commerce functioning, so individual Gemeinden — including ones as minor as Hadersdorf — printed their own Notgeld under officially sanctioned but loosely supervised arrangements.
The JPR0324b suffix indicates a variant within the local issue, likely differing in color, paper, or overprint detail from the 'a' type. Austrian municipal Notgeld of this period frequently spawned collector-targeted variants after 1920, complicating attribution.
