| Comments |
Krungl is a small hamlet within the Mitterndorf municipality, and the decision to issue a separate hamlet-identified note rather than one generically labeled for the municipality was not uncommon in Styrian Notgeld — local identity ran strong, and individual villages occasionally pushed for their own series. Schaffran's work for Paul Gerin during this period was prolific; he handled a significant volume of the Austrian communal emergency money printed in Vienna after the collapse of the Habsburg monetary system left small communities starved of fractional coinage.
The Jaksc suffix "l" indicates this falls within a lettered variant sequence for the 621 series.
