| Comments |
Obernberg am Brenner is a tiny Tyrolean village sitting almost directly on the watershed of the Alps, and its wartime and postwar Heller notes belong to Austria's vast Notgeld episode — the period after 1914 when the collapse of small-denomination coinage forced thousands of municipalities to print their own emergency scrip. By 1920, the worst of the coin shortage had eased, but many communities continued issuing purely for local fiscal convenience, or to sell to the collector trade that had sprung up around Notgeld almost immediately.
The Jaksc/Pick reference suffix "Ic" indicates a known variant within the series — likely a color or paper stock difference from earlier printings. Bürgermeister Hölzler's signature appears as the sole authorization.
