Bad Gastein's notgeld issues belong to the broader Austrian Kleingeldersatz wave that followed the collapse of the Habsburg monetary system — small municipalities filling a coin vacuum that the new Austrian state was too overwhelmed to address. The 60 Heller denomination is slightly unusual within the Gastein series; most tourist-resort communities in the Salzkammergut and Salzburg province favored rounder values for easier transaction handling.
The JPR reference places this within the Jaksch cataloguing system for Austrian local issues, which remains the authoritative source but is notoriously incomplete for distinguishing print runs.
