Neustift im Stubai issued Notgeld during the acute coin shortage that paralyzed small transactions across Austria after World War One. The 90 Heller denomination is an unusual one — most municipal issues clustered around rounder values, and the choice of 90 suggests the commune was trying to cover specific change gaps rather than issuing for collectors, which many Tyrolean villages were openly doing by 1920.
Three signatories authenticate the note: the Bürgermeister, a vice-mayor, and a board member — unusually heavy for a village-level emergency chit, implying formal council authorization rather than ad hoc issue.
