| Comments |
St. Johann in Tirol was among hundreds of Austrian municipalities that issued small-denomination Notgeld during the severe coin shortage that followed World War I. The 30 Heller value sits in a range that saw the heaviest local issue activity — small enough to substitute for vanished bronze coinage, large enough to matter in daily transaction. Wagner of Innsbruck handled a substantial volume of Tyrolean communal Notgeld during this period, making them the de facto regional printer for this type of emergency scrip.
Austrian municipal Notgeld was officially invalidated in stages through the early 1920s as the new republican government attempted to stabilize circulation. Most of these issues were redeemed and pulped promptly.
