| Reverse description | Printed entirely in green on plain paper, the reverse is enclosed within a decorative geometric border with dotted and diamond ornaments. The denomination '10' appears in large bold Gothic numerals at each upper corner, flanking the central heading 'Zehn Heller'. The body of the note carries a multi-line authorisation text in Gothic script citing the town council resolution of 8 April 1920, the total issue of 50,000 Kronen in Notgeld denominations of 10, 20 and 50 Heller, the non-interest-bearing nature of the notes, and the redemption obligation by Marktgemeinde Aschbach. At the very top, outside the border, the designer credit reads 'Entwurf: Erwin Strondl.' and at the foot the printer's imprint 'Druck von F. Rieder, Amstetten.' is given. |

| Comments |
Aschbach's 10 Heller Notgeld was issued during the acute coin shortage that followed Austria's defeat in the First World War — a period when hundreds of Austrian municipalities printed their own small-denomination emergency currency simply to make change. F. Rieder in nearby Amstetten handled production, a local commercial printer rather than a specialist banknote house. Erwin Strondl's involvement as designer places this among the more deliberately crafted examples of what was otherwise a utilitarian cottage industry.
