| Comments |
Austrian Notgeld of this type was issued in enormous quantities during the postwar economic collapse, but the municipal series from small Upper Austrian communities like Steinbach am Ziehberg were typically printed in very limited runs — often a few hundred to a few thousand pieces — intended partly for local circulation and partly for the collector trade that had already emerged around Notgeld by 1920. L. Haase in Linz produced a number of these Upper Austrian municipal issues, functioning as a regional printer for communities too small to negotiate directly with Vienna-based firms.
The JPR1024 series from Steinbach am Ziehberg is among the more obscure entries in the Jaksch catalog, and surviving examples in any condition are infrequently offered.
