| Obverse description | The obverse is framed by a blue rectangular border and printed on a fine guilloche ground. To the left, a woodcut-style vignette depicts the historic Fieberbrunnen (healing spring) shrine — a gothic arched niche with a kneeling figure flanked by candles — accompanied by a descriptive caption below referencing Margravine Margarete Maultasch (1354) and Duchess Claudia of Tyrol (1626). To the right, the denomination '30 Heller' is rendered in large script lettering, beneath which the issuing authority, validity date, and place of issue are inscribed in Gothic blackletter type. Three manuscript signatures appear at the lower right, identified by the titles Bürgermeister, Gemeinderat, and Vizebürgermeister. |

| Comments |
Fieberbrunn is a small Tyrolean market community in the Pillersee valley, and this 30 Heller Notgeld dates to the acute coin shortage that gripped Austria in the immediate aftermath of the First World War. Municipal authorities across Tirol turned to local printers rather than waiting for central government relief — Wagner in Innsbruck handled a significant volume of these community issues in 1919, working fast and cheaply to meet demand from dozens of small parishes and market towns.
The Heller denomination itself was already economically marginal by 1919; hyperinflationary pressure would render such fractional issues obsolete within a few years.
