80 Heller Brandenberg in Tirol

Brandenberg is a small village in the Alpbach Valley of Tyrol, and its decision to issue notgeld in 1920 reflects the acute small-change shortage that gripped Austrian rural communities after the collapse of the Habsburg monetary system. The central government could not supply enough low-denomination coinage, leaving municipalities — even tiny ones — to print their own emergency fractional currency. Wagner of Innsbruck was the practical choice for dozens of Tyrolean communities during this period, handling local notgeld runs efficiently and cheaply.

The 80 Heller denomination is the less common value in the Brandenberg JPR0099 series.
