50 Heller Landfriedstetten Blue issue

Austrian Notgeld of this period is abundant, but municipal issues from small Württemberg-adjacent communities in the former Habsburg borderlands are considerably less documented. Landfriedstetten — a village rather than a town in any administrative sense — issued these 50 Heller notes under the Notgeld provisions that allowed local authorities to paper over the chronic small-denomination coin shortage that persisted well into the early 1920s, long after the wartime emergency that originally prompted such issues had ended.

The "blue issue" designation distinguishes this from at least one other color variant in the JPR0499 series, suggesting the municipality printed in multiple runs — unusual for a settlement of this size.
