Igls is a small alpine village above Innsbruck, and in 1920 it was issuing its own emergency scrip like hundreds of other Austrian municipalities scrambling to fill the coin vacuum left by postwar monetary collapse. The Kurgemeinde designation matters: Igls was legally constituted as a resort municipality, a status that gave spa and sanatorium communities a degree of administrative autonomy — and apparently the authority to issue Notgeld. Wagner was a workhorse Innsbruck printer responsible for a significant share of Tyrolean municipal issues from this period.
