| Comments |
Lausa bei Losenstein is a small rural commune in Upper Austria, and this note is a product of the Notgeld emergency that swept Austrian municipalities in 1919–1920 when small-denomination coins disappeared almost entirely from circulation. Thousands of Gemeinden issued their own paper to fill the gap — most in tiny print runs, distributed locally and rarely traveling far.
Paper Heller notes from villages this small were often printed by local stationers or district printers with no numismatic intention whatsoever. Survival is a matter of chance rather than preservation effort.
