One of thousands of Austrian municipal emergency issues printed in the wake of the economic collapse following World War One. These Gemeindenotgeld were authorized locally to address a genuine small-denomination coin shortage — the state simply could not produce enough fractional currency to keep commerce moving at the village level. Bruck im Pinzgau, a small market town in the Salzburg Alps, issued this half-Krone as functional spending money, not as a collector piece, though the notgeld collecting craze that swept Austria and Germany almost immediately meant many were saved unspent.
The Jaksch/Pick reference places this in the third series of Bruck issues. Designer credit to Zucker appears on several Salzburg regional notgeld of this period.
