| Comments |
Hall in Tirol was among hundreds of Austrian municipalities that issued Notgeld during the postwar economic collapse, when small coin essentially vanished from circulation. The 90 Heller denomination is an awkward one — most Notgeld series favored round figures — and its existence here likely reflects an attempt to cover specific transactional gaps rather than a clean denomination strategy.
Wagner of Innsbruck handled a substantial volume of local Notgeld printing for Tyrolean communities during this period, which means production quality is generally consistent across the regional issues. The Jaksch/Pick suffix "IIb" indicates a distinct type variant within the series, worth distinguishing from the more commonly encountered issues.
