| Comments |
Seekirchen am Wallersee was one of hundreds of Austrian market towns that issued Notgeld during the hyperinflationary collapse following the First World War, when small denomination coinage vanished entirely from circulation. The Marktgemeinde authorized these emergency issues out of practical necessity — without them, everyday transactions simply couldn't be made. R. Kiesel in Salzburg was a regional printer who handled a number of these local issues, keeping production costs low and turnaround fast.
The JPR0987b designation distinguishes this as the second type within the Seekirchen 60 Heller series — a detail that matters to completists assembling full Notgeld runs by municipality.
