| Comments |
Pupping is a small parish municipality in Upper Austria, a few kilometres from Efferding, and this note is exactly what that geography implies: a hyperlocal emergency issue printed by a nearby jobbing printer during the Notgeld period, when small Austrian communes were left to fund their own small-change supply. Franz Haslmair's signature as authorizing official anchors it firmly in local civic administration rather than any banking apparatus.
Lanz of Efferding was a regional commercial printer, not a specialist in currency production. That matters for condition — the paper stock and ink used by such firms varied considerably, and foxing or toning is common on surviving examples from this source.
