Austrian Notgeld from Gemeinde Pupping, a small municipality in Upper Austria. The 80 Heller denomination is one of the more unusual face values to appear in the Notgeld issues of 1920–1921 — most communes defaulted to round numbers, and the choice of 80 reflects the chaotic, locally-determined nature of emergency currency production in the early Austrian Republic, when individual parishes and townships effectively set their own denominations based on whatever change gaps existed in daily commerce.
The JPR reference places this firmly within the Jaksch-catalogued Upper Austrian series. Survivorship is generally high for Pupping issues, as many were collected rather than spent.
