| Obverse description | The obverse is printed in dark violet on cream paper and presents a central vignette of the Asten parish church and surrounding buildings set within a landscaped scene, framed by a rope-style border with decorative figural motifs — a female figure with foliage on the left and a sheaf-like ornament on the right. The denomination numeral '10' appears in circular cartouches at the lower left and right corners, with the issuer name 'Gemeinde Asten' in bold lettering across the lower panel. A two-line poetic inscription in German script runs along the upper margin, and the printer's imprint 'J. z. Kleinert, Ottensheim' is noted at the lower right. |

| Reverse description | The reverse is printed in dark violet on cream paper and carries the denomination 'HELLER' in large bold capitals across the top, flanked by the numeral '10' in plain cartouches at each side. The central field contains a full legal text in German, stating the authority and conditions of issue by the Municipality of Asten near Enns in Upper Austria, referencing a council resolution of 9 May 1920 and the obligation to redeem the note at the municipal treasury in legal tender by 31 December 1920. The date 'Asten, 9. Mai 1920.' and the mayor's signature line 'Der Bürgermeister: K. Huber' appear below the text block, with a decorative geometric underprint border and an anti-counterfeiting warning at the foot. |
