| Obverse description | The obverse is divided into three vertical panels in a decorative Art Nouveau-influenced letterpress composition. The central panel carries a large vignette of a crowned eagle with outstretched wings perched on a rocky Alpine summit, the city arms of Innsbruck below it and the slogan 'Tirol deutsch und ungeteilt!' above. The left panel contains a wreath-framed text block stating the redemption terms of the Notgeld-Sammlerbund, flanked below by the coat of arms of Bozen, while the right panel bears the issuance date 'Innsbruck, am 1. Juni 1920' alongside three manuscript signatures for the Obmann, his deputy, and the Säckelwart, with the arms of Meran below. Denomination numerals '75 H' in large ornamental script anchor the upper corners of the outer panels. |

| Comments |
Austrian Notgeld from 1920 falls into a peculiar category: by that point, many issues were produced explicitly for collectors rather than genuine emergency circulation. The Notgeld-Sammlerbund — a collectors' association, not a municipality or savings bank — makes this one of the more transparent examples of that phenomenon. The issuing body is literally a numismatic club.
Wagner was Innsbruck's principal commercial printer, responsible for a range of regional Notgeld series during this period. Nothing about the production is technically unusual.
