User keywords, or 'tags', are words added to object records by other users to enhance their discovery. You can add keywords that may be useful in helping others find this object.

We are experimenting with tagging because sometimes museums describe objects in language that is highly specialist and user added keywords are useful in bridging the 'semantic gap' between the language of the museum and that of the user.

Any keywords listed have been added by other users like yourself. You can click on them to use them as search terms to dicover other objects. User tags

Production Notes include information about the design, manufacture and marketing of an object. Production notes
This 20 Heller notgeld was issued in 1920 by the local authorities in Bram-Oesterreich, Austria.

German for 'emergency money' or 'necessity money', notgeld replaced legal tender in times of economic crisis such as the hyper inflationary periods experienced primarily in Germany and Austria following World War I. A massive shortage of coins as a result of diverting metal to the war effort and increased stockpiling of coins by institutions as metal value exceeded actual value of the coin - was resolved by issuing banknotes in smaller denominations. Generally the size of business cards, notgeld were issued by municipal authorities, local banks, public institutions and private companies. Circulation was typically restricted to a specific region.

Predominantly printed on paper, other materials included leather, silk, linen, stamps, aluminium foil, porcelain, recycled paper products in addition to commodities like coal. Characteristically colourful featuring bold and appealing artwork, notgeld are highly collectible.
