| Comments |
Fieberbrunn is a small market town in the Kitzbühel district of Tyrol, and this 30 Heller note belongs to the vast wave of Austrian Notgeld issued between 1919 and 1921 when postwar coin shortages left municipal authorities scrambling to produce their own small-denomination scrip. Wagner in Innsbruck handled a substantial portion of the Tyrolean municipal issues during this period, supplying the region's Gemeinden with locally printed emergency notes that varied considerably in quality depending on the order size and the issuing authority's budget.
The Heller itself was abolished in December 1924 when the Schilling replaced the Krone, rendering all such scrip permanently invalid well before most of it was redeemed.
