| Reverse description | The reverse shows the note in its uncut, two-part format, the text and guilloche underprint bleeding through from the obverse on plain white paper. The mirror-image impression of the Gothic typeset legends and the central 'XX' guilloche vignette are clearly visible as a see-through effect, confirming the thin paper stock used. No independent design elements are present on this side. |

| Comments |
Pupping is a small parish municipality in Upper Austria, a few kilometres from Efferding, and this note is exactly what that geography implies: a hyperlocal emergency issue printed by a nearby jobbing printer during the Notgeld period, when small Austrian communes were left to fund their own small-change supply. Franz Haslmair's signature as authorizing official anchors it firmly in local civic administration rather than any banking apparatus.
Lanz of Efferding was a regional commercial printer, not a specialist in currency production. That matters for condition — the paper stock and ink used by such firms varied considerably, and foxing or toning is common on surviving examples from this source.
