| Comments |
Hinzenbach is a small parish in Upper Austria, administratively part of the Eferding district, and its decision to issue emergency paper money in 1920 was entirely unremarkable at the time — hundreds of Austrian municipalities did exactly the same thing as the post-war coin shortage gutted everyday commerce. What makes this note marginally more traceable than most is the printer: Karl Lanz operated out of Eferding itself, meaning this Notgeld was almost certainly designed, printed, and issued within a radius of a few kilometers.
The Jaksch-Pick reference JPR0378IIa indicates a documented variant, suggesting at least one other printing or paper state exists for this issue.
