| Comments |
Austrian Heller notgeld from 1920 sits in a crowded field, but the Neumarkt an der Ybbs issues printed by Ernst Prietzel in Steyr occupy a minor but genuine place in the regional notgeld story. Prietzel was a local commercial printer, not a specialist currency house, and the series reflects that — modest production values typical of small Upper Austrian market towns scrambling to cover small-change shortages that the Vienna government was slow to resolve.
The "b" variant designation in the Jaksch catalogue generally indicates a color or paper variation within the same denomination run. Worth confirming against a reference copy before attributing confidently.
