| Comments |
Brandenberg is a small Tirolean village in the Brandenberger Ache valley — not to be confused with Brandenburg in Germany — and like hundreds of Austrian municipalities it issued its own small-denomination Notgeld during the severe coin shortage that followed the First World War. The Wagner printing house in Innsbruck supplied a significant number of these local emergency notes across North Tirol, producing runs for communities too small to attract the larger specialist printers.
The Jaksch reference JPR0099bA-60 indicates a "b" variant, suggesting at least two distinct printings or paper types exist for this denomination within the Brandenberg series. Worth confirming against a known "a" example before cataloging as the commoner type.
