| Comments |
Hall in Tirol's wartime and postwar small-change shortage prompted dozens of local Notgeld issuers across the Tyrol, but a commercial society — the Einsiedler Gesellschaft — commissioning its own 90-Heller note is an unusual arrangement. The odd denomination reflects the fractional-currency chaos of Austrian Notgeld rather than any standard monetary subdivision; 90 Heller notes exist precisely because issuers were filling gaps left by whatever denominations everyone else had already printed.
Deutsche Buchdruckerei in Innsbruck handled a substantial volume of Tyrolean municipal and private Notgeld in this period. Jos. Demetz of Hall contributed the design — a local craftsman working for a local client, which is exactly how most of this material came to exist.
