| Obverse description | The obverse is printed in dark brown on buff paper and centred on two conjoined oval vignettes: the left vignette shows a rural farmstead identified below as "Palmühle", while the right vignette depicts a Gothic wayside chapel captioned "Kapelle in Kreuth". The denomination "10" appears in bold numerals between the two ovals, with "Heller" and "Manning" rendered in ornate Gothic lettering below. The entire composition is framed by a decorative scroll-and-ribbon border with rolled cartouche motifs at each corner. |

Manning is a small rural commune in Upper Austria, and this 10 Heller notgeld is exactly what the postwar coin shortage forced hundreds of similarly modest municipalities to produce in 1920. The Austrian state simply could not supply enough small-denomination coinage after the collapse of the Habsburg monetary system, so local authorities — mayors, shopkeepers, even individual businesses — printed their own emergency scrip. Moshammer signing as Vizebürgermeister rather than a finance official is typical of how thin the administrative apparatus was in villages of this size.
The Jaksc reference confirms this as a catalogued variant within the 0578b series, meaning at least one other denomination or printing exists from Manning.
