The Tiroler Landeskasse issued this note as an emergency Kleingeldersatz — a small-change substitute — in the chaotic months following Austria-Hungary's collapse. The imperial postal and transport networks had broken down, coins were being hoarded aggressively, and provincial authorities across the former crownlands were printing their own fractional notes to keep local commerce moving. Tirol's situation was particularly acute: the region had just been partitioned by the Treaty of Saint-Germain-en-Laye, with the southern half ceded to Italy.
At 63 × 40 mm, this is among the smallest emergency issues of the period.
