Comments

Hall in Tirol was one of hundreds of Austrian municipalities and local bodies that resorted to Notgeld during the postwar economic collapse, when small-denomination coins vanished from circulation almost entirely. The Gesellschaft Einsiedler — a local association rather than a municipal authority — was among the more unusual issuers in the region, sitting outside the typical town council or savings bank structure that generated most Tyrolean emergency currency.

Deutsche Buchdruckerei in Innsbruck handled a considerable volume of Tyrolean Notgeld output in this period, which makes attribution of printing errors or paper variations across the series genuinely difficult.
