| Comments |
Rattenberg — Austria's smallest town by area — issued this Heller Notgeld during the acute small-change shortage that gripped the Habsburg economy from 1914 onward. The municipal issues of Tirol are among the more locally flavored of the wartime Notgeld, printed regionally rather than sourced from Vienna, which gives the Wagner, Innsbruck imprint a certain documentary value for students of provincial Austrian printing history.
The 40 Heller denomination is one of the less common face values in the Rattenberg series.
