Radstadt is a small market town in the Salzburg uplands, and its decision to issue notgeld during the First World War was driven by the same acute small-coin shortage that paralyzed commerce across Austria from 1914 onward. Silver and copper were pulled from circulation almost immediately after mobilization, and municipal authorities were left to paper over the gap — literally — with locally authorized emergency issues.
The Jaksc/Pick reference places this firmly in the documented Austrian notgeld corpus, though Radstadt's issues are among the less frequently encountered Salzburg municipal pieces in the trade today.
