| Comments |
Fieberbrunn is a small Tyrolean village that, like hundreds of Austrian municipalities in 1919, was forced to print its own emergency small change after the collapse of the Habsburg monetary system left coin virtually absent from circulation. These Notgeld issues were a practical stopgap, not a political statement — the Gemeinde simply needed something people could use at the baker and the butcher.
Wagner in Innsbruck handled much of the Tyrolean municipal Notgeld production during this period, which gives the series a degree of printing consistency unusual among Austrian village issues. The JPR0200a designation groups the Fieberbrunn set; the 99 Heller denomination is the highest in the series.
