| Comments |
Austrian Notgeld of this type emerged from the currency chaos following the collapse of the Habsburg monetary system in 1918. Municipal authorities across Austria were forced to issue their own small-denomination emergency scrip because coinage had vanished from circulation entirely — hoarded, melted, or simply exhausted by wartime demand. Bruck im Pinzgau, a small market town in the Salzburg Alps, was among hundreds of Gemeinden that printed locally to fill the gap.
The Jaksc/Pick reference suffix "IIIb" indicates a specific paper or print variant within the series — worth distinguishing from the IIIa, as survivorship rates differ between variant runs.
