| Comments |
Sankt Johann in Tirol issued Notgeld in multiple denominations during the postwar currency vacuum, when municipal and commercial bodies across the former Habsburg lands filled the coin shortage with locally printed emergency scrip. The 90 Heller value is an odd one — not a standard rounding denomination — suggesting it was designed to complement specific smaller values already in circulation rather than serve as a standalone unit.
Wagner of Innsbruck handled a considerable volume of Tyrolean municipal Notgeld work in this period, making their imprint common to the region but useful for attribution.
