Lochen is a small market town in Upper Austria, and this 50 Heller Notgeld is one of the more locally rooted pieces from the 1920 Austrian emergency currency wave — designed by Sepp Auer and printed by J. Moser in nearby Braunau am Inn. The Moser firm handled a number of regional Notgeld commissions from the Inn Quarter during this period, which gives pieces from this cluster a certain typographic consistency beneath their surface differences.
The JPR0559a designation places this within Jaksch's systematic cataloguing of Austrian municipal issues. Lochen issued only a limited range of denominations, and the 50 Heller sits at the upper end of what the municipality put into circulation.
