Wiggensbach is a small village in the Allgäu region of Bavaria, and this note is a piece of Notgeld — emergency small-change scrip issued during the acute coin shortage that gripped Germany from roughly 1916 onward. Anton Prestel's Burgbräu was a local brewery, and like hundreds of German businesses during that period, it issued its own fractional currency to keep trade moving when official Reichskasse coins had been hoarded out of circulation.
The presence of a watermark on a piece of provincial brewery scrip is worth noting — most low-denomination Notgeld from small issuers used plain stock.
