| Reverse description | The reverse is printed in olive-green and black on buff paper and centres on an oval vignette of the pilgrimage chapel and farmstead at Heilig Wasser, rendered in fine line engraving with coniferous trees in the foreground and a steepled turret to the right; the caption 'HEILIG WASSER' appears beneath the scene within the oval. Large numerals '4' and '0' are set into the upper corners of the decorative border frame, with additional corner numerals in the lower angles. A rectangular legend panel at the foot reads 'Kassenschein der Kurgemeinde Igls in Tirol' in Gothic script, and the printer's imprint 'WAGNER, INNSBRUCK.' appears at lower left. |

| Comments |
Igls is a small resort village above Innsbruck, and its Kurgemeinde — the administrative body overseeing the spa and health resort functions — issued these Heller notes as part of the broader Austrian Notgeld wave that swept through Tyrol and beyond from 1919 onward. Municipal and district authorities issued their own small-denomination emergency currency because the central supply of low-value coinage had effectively collapsed in the postwar economic disorder. Wagner in Innsbruck was a regional workhorse printer for exactly this kind of local commission.
The 40 Heller denomination is among the less common values in the Igls series.
