Comments

Jochberg is a small Tyrolean municipality near Kitzbühel, and its decision to issue notgeld in 1920 reflects the acute small-denomination coin shortage that plagued rural Austria in the aftermath of war and imperial collapse. The Wagner press in Innsbruck handled a significant volume of Tyrolean municipal emergency currency during this period, and the consistent quality of their output means condition variation across the series tends to be modest rather than dramatic.

The JPR0419a designation places this within the Jaksch corpus of Austrian notgeld — a collecting field where completeness by municipality drives most demand, making individual pieces like this one valued primarily as series components rather than standalone rarities.
