| Comments |
Pupping is a small municipality in Upper Austria, and like hundreds of comparable villages, it issued Notgeld during the acute small-change shortage that gripped Austria between roughly 1919 and 1921. These local emergency notes were produced outside the central banking system entirely — the issuing authority here is the village commune itself, not any financial institution. The 25 Heller denomination sits at the lower end of what most communes bothered to print, suggesting genuine practical need rather than the collector-targeted sets that dominated later Notgeld production.
The Jaksc/Pick suffix "c" indicates a distinct variety within the series, likely a color or paper variant.
