Eferding is among the smallest towns in Upper Austria to have issued its own notgeld, and the 75 Heller denomination sits at the upper edge of what most municipal issuers of this size bothered to produce. The chronic small-change shortage that followed Austria's postwar economic collapse forced even minor Gemeinden to commission their own emergency currency in 1920, and Reklame Atelier Fuka — a commercial advertising studio in Linz rather than a specialist security printer — handled the work for several Upper Austrian municipalities during this period.
The advertising-house origin is worth noting: Fuka's output tends toward decorative regional imagery rather than the austere typography favored by bank printers.
