| Comments |
Brandenberg is a small village in the Rofan mountains east of Schwaz — the kind of community that would have struggled to source small change during the acute coin shortage that followed Austria's defeat in the First World War. The Heller notgeld wave of 1919–1921 pushed even minor Tyrolean municipalities into issuing their own emergency fractional paper, and Wagner of Innsbruck handled a significant share of that regional printing work.
The JPR0099a designation places this within the Jaksc notgeld reference, the standard authority for Tyrolean municipal issues of this period.
