| Obverse description | Printed in dark blue on plain paper, the obverse is dominated by a central vignette of a bishop saint in full ecclesiastical vestments, holding a crozier in his left hand and a palm frond in his right, set against a horizontally lined underprint background. Two heraldic shields flank the figure at mid-height — the left bearing a rampant lion, the right bearing crossed keys — while a scrolling ribbon banner below carries the municipal name ABTENAU in bold Gothic lettering. The denomination '10 Heller' appears in large numerals at upper left and upper right, with the legend 'Guttchein' and 'Gemeinde' on flanking ribbon scrolls, and the facsimile signature of Bürgermeister Auer inscribed along the lower margin. |

| Reverse description | Printed in dark blue on plain paper, the reverse centers on a rectangular vignette framed by a decorative ruled border, presenting a line-art landscape view of a rural chapel or small church approached by a country road, with bare trees and clouds rendered in a naive graphic style. Flanking ribbon scrolls at left and right carry the inscriptions 'Gemeinde' and 'Abtenau Heller', with the numeral '10' at upper left and upper right corners. A scrolling text panel below the vignette contains the redemption clause in German script, with a further imprint warning against counterfeiting along the lower margin. |
