| Comments |
Austrian municipal emergency money — Notgeld — issued by the commune of Bruck im Pinzgau in Salzburg province after the collapse of the Habsburg economy left the new Republic chronically short of small-denomination coinage. Bruck was a minor Alpine village of no great commercial importance, and its Notgeld issues were printed in extremely limited quantities for purely local use, covering transactions the central government could not facilitate. The 0107-IIb designation in the Jaksc catalog indicates a specific sub-variant within the 1920 series — likely a color or paper distinction from a near-identical sibling note.
Signed by Anton Posch, almost certainly the Bürgermeister at the time of issue.
