| Comments |
Oberschlierbach is a small Upper Austrian municipality, and this 50 Heller note is a product of the Notgeld wave that swept through Austria in 1920 as chronic small-coin shortages forced even minor rural parishes to issue their own emergency paper. Karl Huber of Urfahr — a printing town directly across the Danube from Linz — handled a substantial volume of these local issues, and his output for the surrounding Upper Austrian municipalities is well-documented in the Jaksc reference series.
The JPR0694c designation indicates this is one of several distinct Oberschlierbach types, differentiated by design or color variant within the same denomination.
