| Comments |
Jochberg is a small Tyrolean village in the Kitzbühel district, and like hundreds of Austrian municipalities it issued its own emergency currency — Notgeld — during the severe coin shortage that followed the collapse of the Habsburg economy. The Wagner printing house in Innsbruck produced a substantial portion of Tyrolean municipal Notgeld during this period, often working from locally commissioned designs rather than standardized templates.
The JPR0419b designation places this within the Jochberg series documented by Jaksch, distinguishing it by a specific design or color variant from the 0419a. Small-denomination Heller notes from rural Tyrolean communes are routinely undervalued relative to their actual scarcity — print runs for villages of this size were often in the low thousands.
