| Beschrijving voorzijde | Olive-green Notgeld note with the denomination numeral '10' set within octagonal cartouches at the upper left and upper right corners. A central oval vignette, framed by a decorative guilloche border, presents a bird's-eye panoramic view of the village of Biberbach, with the church steeple rising at centre, surrounding agricultural fields, and wooded hills receding into the background. Blackletter text below the vignette reads 'Gutschein der Gemeinde Biberbach', with the designer and printer credits in small roman type along the lower margin. |

| Beschrijving keerzijde | Olive-grey note with an ornate floral and geometric guilloche border running the full perimeter. To the left, an oval vignette in Jugendstil woodcut style renders a robed allegorical figure holding a sheaf of wheat and a sickle; to the right, the issuer name 'Biberbach' in large blackletter script dominates, with 'Gutschein der Gemeinde' above and the denomination '10 Heller 10' in circular cartouches below. The validity clause 'GILT BIS 30. DEZEMBER 1920' appears at lower left alongside three facsimile signature lines for the Vicebürgermeister, Bürgermeister, and Gemeinderat, with the forgery warning 'NACHAHMMEN WIRD BESTRAFT' at lower right. |

| Opmerkingen |
Gemeinde Biberbach issued this Heller note under the Notgeld emergency currency arrangements that proliferated across Austria following the economic collapse of 1918–1919. Small municipalities — Biberbach among them — were authorized to print their own fractional notes to compensate for the chronic shortage of small coinage that paralyzed everyday retail trade. F. Kielar of Amstetten handled the printing locally, keeping costs down and turnaround fast. Three municipal officials signed each note, a formality that gave the paper at least the appearance of civic authority.
Anton Rohrhofer's design credit is the one detail worth pausing on — local artist involvement in Austrian Notgeld was common enough that it spawned a collector market almost immediately upon issue.
