| Comments |
Fieberbrunn is a small market town in the Tyrolean Pillersee valley, and its 1919 Heller notes belong to the enormous wave of Austrian Notgeld issued when postwar coin shortages left rural municipalities with no practical means of making change. Wagner in Innsbruck printed for dozens of Tyrolean communities during this period, which means the physical printing quality is consistent — the differentiator between issues is the municipal authorization and the specific denomination series approved by each local council.
The 40 Heller value is the less common denomination in many rural Tyrolean sets, often printed in smaller quantities than the 10 or 20 Heller equivalents.
