| Comments |
Mitterndorf's notgeld issues from 1920 belong to the wave of Austrian spa and resort towns that printed small-denomination emergency currency during the postwar coin shortage. The 80 Heller value is slightly unusual — most series leaned on round denominations like 50 or 100 Heller, and an 80 suggests the town was covering a specific transactional gap, likely tied to local bath or accommodation fees rather than general commerce.
The JPR0621IIb suffix in the Jaksch reference indicates a variant within the series — distinguishable from the type-I or earlier impressions by some detail of paper, color, or overprint that catalog photography alone rarely resolves cleanly in hand.
