Krummnussbaum is a small market town on the Danube in Lower Austria, and like hundreds of Austrian municipalities in the early 1920s, it issued its own emergency currency — Notgeld — to address a severe coin shortage that persisted well after the First World War ended. These hyperlocal issues were authorized under the same broadly permissive conditions that produced thousands of similar municipal pieces across the former Habsburg lands, and their circulation rarely extended beyond the issuing community itself.
The dual signatures of the Bürgermeister and Vizebürgermeister were the standard authentication mechanism for these municipal issues, giving each piece a nominal legal anchor in local civic authority. The Jaksch/Pick reference JPR0488Ia designates the 50 Heller as part of the first documented series for this municipality.
