Comments

Hall in Tirol was one of hundreds of Austrian municipalities and local businesses that issued Notgeld during the postwar currency crisis, when small change effectively ceased to circulate. The Gesellschaft Einsiedler — a local business concern rather than a civic authority — printed through Deutsche Buchdruckerei in Innsbruck, a house that handled a substantial volume of Tyrolean emergency issues during this period. The designer, J. Demetz of Hall, was a local rather than a professional banknote artist, which was entirely normal for Notgeld of this type.

The JPR0343a designation in Jaksch's specialized Notgeld catalog places this within a documented series for the issuer.
