Mattighofen's wartime Heller notgeld was a direct product of the coin shortage that gripped Austria from 1914 onward — small denomination metal coinage disappeared almost immediately into hoarding and melting, forcing municipalities across the empire to issue their own emergency paper. Mattighofen, a small market town in Upper Austria, was one of hundreds that filled the gap this way, though its series remains relatively obscure compared to the more elaborately printed municipal issues from larger Styrian and Tyrolean centers.
The JPR0594c suffix suggests this is one of several variants within the Mattighofen issue — likely differentiated by date, signature, or overprint detail rather than a fundamental redesign.
