| Comments |
The Notgeld-Sammlerbund Innsbruck — a collectors' association, not a municipal authority — issued this 99 Heller note not as emergency currency in any practical sense, but explicitly as a collectible. By 1920, the Austrian Notgeld craze had fully inverted itself: organizations were producing denominations specifically to be bought, traded, and never spent. The 99 Heller value is a deliberate collector's quirk, chosen precisely because it falls outside any standard monetary denomination.
Signed by three named association officers, including Obmann Anton Konsett and his deputy Leopold Fleppinger. Wagner was a well-established Innsbruck printer, used repeatedly for Tyrolean Notgeld runs of this period.
