Hörsching is a small municipality in Upper Austria, southwest of Linz. This 50 Heller note belongs to the vast flood of Austrian Notgeld issued after the First World War, when small metal coinage had all but vanished from circulation — hoarded, melted, or simply exhausted by wartime demand. Municipalities, businesses, and local authorities across Austria and Germany printed their own emergency fractional notes to fill the gap, with official validation typically provided by a local administrative stamp rather than any central banking authority.
The JPR0399c suffix indicates a specific stamp variant within the Hörsching series — minor stamp differences being the primary distinguishing factor between types in most small-town Austrian Notgeld.
