20 Heller Bruck im Pinzgau

Bruck im Pinzgau is a small Alpine municipality in the Salzburg region, and like hundreds of Austrian communities it resorted to locally issued Heller notgeld during the acute coin shortages of the First World War. These municipal emergency issues were authorized under wartime necessity — the central authorities in Vienna had lost control of small denomination circulation almost entirely by 1916–17, and communes were effectively left to print their own solutions.

Anton Posch's signature as issuing authority locates this squarely in local municipal administration. The Jaksc/Pick IId designation places it in the second major catalogued phase of Austrian notgeld production.
