Pupping is a small market commune in Upper Austria, and like hundreds of similarly sized municipalities, it resorted to issuing its own emergency paper money — Notgeld — during and after the First World War when metal coinage all but vanished from everyday commerce. The Ortsgemeinde (local commune) was the issuing authority, not a bank or savings institution, which places this squarely in the hyperlocal tier of Austrian Notgeld — the kind printed in tiny runs for purely practical use within a single village economy.
The Jaksc/Pick reference suffix "IIe" indicates a specific variant within the series, likely distinguished by a paper type, printing color, or serial numbering difference from otherwise identical denominations.
