| Reverse description | The reverse is divided into three pictorial panels: on the left, a vignette of Kufstein fortress captioned 'Von Kufstein', and on the right, a ruined castle captioned 'bis Salurn!', both rendered in fine line illustration style. The central vignette shows a Tyrolean couple in traditional dress clasping hands before a mountain landscape. Denomination numerals '75' in large red figures appear at lower left and lower right, flanking the issuer name 'St. Johann in Tirol' in Gothic lettering; a four-line patriotic verse in German script occupies the lower centre panel. |

St. Johann in Tirol's 75 Heller Notgeld belongs to the wave of municipal emergency currency that flooded Austria between 1919 and 1922, when chronic coin shortages forced even small market towns to print their own. Wagner in Innsbruck handled a substantial volume of Tyrolean Notgeld during this period, producing notes for numerous Gemeinden across the Inn Valley on relatively short print runs.
By 1921 the series was nearing its functional end — Austria's federal stabilization efforts would render most local Heller issues obsolete within two years, and many were simply collected rather than spent.
