| Reverse description | The reverse, printed in green on cream paper, is contained within a rectangular border of repetitive geometric ornament and presents a predominantly typographic layout in Gothic script. The upper portion bears the title 'Gutschein' with the denomination '10 Heller' and the full issuer designation, followed by a block of text recording the joint council resolution of 1 April 1920; at lower left appear the facsimile signatures of the three Bürgermeisters beneath their respective municipality names. A tall narrow vignette of an armoured knight in relief style occupies the right margin, flanked by vertical inscriptions along the outer border. |

| Comments |
This note is a product of the Notgeld wave that swept Austria's smaller municipalities after World War One, when the central government's currency collapsed in purchasing power and coin disappeared entirely from circulation. Bubendorf, Meilersdorf, and Wolfsbach — three small Lower Austrian communes — pooled their issuance, an arrangement that was administratively unusual enough to warrant a shared series rather than separate municipal issues.
The 112c designation in the Jaksc catalog indicates a distinct paper or printing variant within the series, suggesting these were issued in more than one production run.
