Pfarrkirchen im Mühlkreis is a small commune in Upper Austria, and like hundreds of similar municipalities, it issued its own small-denomination emergency currency — Notgeld — during the acute coin shortage that gripped Austria from 1916 onward. The wartime withdrawal of metal coinage from circulation left transactions below one Krone essentially impossible without these locally produced substitutes.
The Jaksc/Pick suffix "IIIb" indicates a specific subvariant within the series — likely a paper stock or overprint distinction that collectors have parsed carefully, since Pfarrkirchen Heller notes appear in multiple catalogued states.
