Igls is a small resort village above Innsbruck, and like hundreds of Austrian and German municipalities during the First World War, it issued its own emergency small-change notes — Notgeld — when coins disappeared from circulation as metal was requisitioned for the war effort. The Kurgemeinde designation is telling: Igls was administered as a spa and resort commune, not a standard municipal authority, which makes its participation in the Notgeld issues slightly unusual.
Wagner was a well-established Innsbruck printing house responsible for numerous Tyrolean Notgeld issues of the period. The 20 Heller denomination sits at the lower end of the practical range for such notes.
