| Comments |
Pupping is a small parish municipality in Upper Austria, and like hundreds of similarly sized communities, it issued emergency paper money — Notgeld — during the coin shortage that gripped Austria from roughly 1916 onward. The 10 Heller denomination was among the most commonly issued values precisely because small copper and nickel coins had been pulled from circulation for the war effort, leaving everyday transactions impossible without local substitutes.
Franz Haslmair's signature identifies him as the authorizing municipal official. These hyper-local issues were typically printed in very small quantities, redeemed quickly once coin supplies normalized, and survive today largely by accident.
