| Comments |
Sittendorf is a small village in Lower Austria, and like hundreds of Austrian municipalities it issued its own emergency small change notes — Notgeld — during the severe coin shortage that followed the First World War. These municipal issues were a practical stopgap, not a monetary experiment; coins had been hoarded or melted, and the state couldn't keep up with demand for low-denomination currency.
Printed by F. Seitenberg in Vienna's third district, a firm that handled a number of these local commissions. The JPR1001c designation places this within a documented series variant for Sittendorf — the "c" suffix typically indicates a distinct print run or paper stock difference within the same denomination.
