| Comments |
Imst is a market town in the Inn valley of North Tyrol, and like hundreds of Austrian municipalities it resorted to Notgeld during the severe coin shortage that gripped the region from 1916 onward. The Deutsche Buchdruckerei in Innsbruck handled a substantial portion of Tyrolean municipal emergency issues during this period, making them the de facto regional printer for small-denomination scrip across the Inn valley.
The Jaksc/Pick reference places this within the documented Imst series, though the "d" suffix indicates a distinct variety — likely a color or paper variant rather than a separate emission date.
