| Comments |
Austrian Notgeld of the early 1920s was a municipal free-for-all, and Kematen bei Wels participated like dozens of other Upper Austrian market towns — issuing small-denomination emergency scrip to cover the catastrophic coin shortage that followed the collapse of the Habsburg economy. The 80 Heller denomination is one of the less common face values in the Kematen set, which makes it marginally harder to complete as a series than the more routinely issued 10 and 20 Heller pieces.
Collectors should note that the JPR cataloguing for Upper Austrian Notgeld has historically lumped together issues with subtle but real typographical variants.
