| Comments |
Tulln's municipal emergency currency was part of the vast Austrian Notgeld wave that swept through towns and districts between 1918 and 1922, forced into existence by the collapse of the Habsburg monetary system and a chronic shortage of small change in the immediate postwar years. What makes this particular issue locally distinctive is that both the printing and design stayed entirely within the town — Goldmann's Druck was a local commercial press, and Beverin was presumably a local designer rather than one of the specialist Viennese artists who handled more elaborately produced Notgeld series.
The Jaksc/Pick reference JPR1083IIa distinguishes a specific subtype, suggesting at least one variant exists within the Tulln 50 Heller series.
