Comments

Brandenberg is a small Tyrolean village in the Inn valley, and its decision to issue Heller-denomination notgeld places this squarely in the Austrian municipal emergency currency wave of 1919–1921, when the collapse of the Habsburg monetary system left small communities without enough small change to function. Wagner of Innsbruck was the workhorse printer for dozens of these Tyrolean issues — the same shop produced notgeld for numerous nearby communes in rapid succession, which occasionally creates attribution headaches when undated or unlabeled examples surface.

The JPR0099bA designation suggests a variant within the Brandenberg series, worth verifying against the full Jaksch listing for paper color or overprint differences.
