| Comments |
Austrian municipal notgeld, issued by the commune of Wartberg ob der Aist in Upper Austria during the small-change famine that gripped the country from around 1919 onward. The withdrawal of coins from circulation — driven by hoarding and metal shortages following the collapse of the Habsburg monarchy — forced hundreds of small municipalities to print their own fractional notes, this 50 Heller piece among them.
The Jaksc catalog suffix "b" indicates a variant within the series, most likely a printing or paper difference from the primary type.
