30 Heller Obernberg bei Gries am Brenner

One of thousands of Austrian Notgeld issues printed between 1919 and 1922, when the postwar collapse of the Habsburg monetary system left municipalities scrambling to cover a chronic shortage of small-denomination coin. Obernberg am Brenner sits at altitude in the Wipp Valley, a handful of kilometers from the Austrian-Italian border established by the 1919 Treaty of Saint-Germain — a border that cut directly through the Brenner Pass and severed communities with long economic ties to what was now South Tyrol.

The Jaksch/Pick reference suffix "Ic" indicates a third color or paper variant within the 30 Heller denomination run, suggesting the municipality issued multiple print runs as demand persisted.
