| Comments |
Jochberg is a small Tyrolean village in the Kitzbühel district, and like hundreds of Austrian municipalities in 1920, it issued its own emergency currency — Notgeld — to compensate for the catastrophic coin shortage that followed the collapse of the Habsburg monetary system. The Wagner press in Innsbruck handled a significant volume of these local commissions across the Tyrol, producing runs that were often tiny by any standard measure.
The 60 Heller denomination is slightly unusual; most municipal issues gravitated toward rounder values. Whether this reflected a specific local pricing need or simply a decision to cover multiple transaction points across a small series is unrecorded.
