| Comments |
St. Johann in Tirol issued this 10 Heller note as Notgeld during the severe coin shortage that gripped Austria in the years immediately following the collapse of the Habsburg Empire. Municipalities across the former crownlands were effectively forced into the printing business — the central authorities in Vienna could not supply sufficient small change, so local councils took matters into their own hands, commissioning regional printers to fill the gap.
Wagner of Innsbruck handled a substantial volume of Tyrolean municipal Notgeld during this period. The 1920 date places this note in the later wave of issues, after the initial post-armistice scramble but before Austria's hyperinflationary crisis rendered small-denomination paper irrelevant entirely.
