| Obverse description | Printed in green on cream paper, the obverse is divided into two zones by a decorative scrollwork border with guilloche underprint: the left panel carries the denomination numeral '10' within a circular frame above the validity date 'Gültig bis 30. Dezemb 1920' and the anti-counterfeiting warning 'Nachahmung wird bestraft', with 'Heller' lettered at top. The right panel presents an oval vignette of a rural church with a prominent tower set among trees, rendered in a bold woodcut-like style. Above the vignette, the issuing legend 'Gutschein der Gemeinden Bubendorf, Meilersdorf u. Wolfsbach' is set in decorative Gothic script. |

| 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.
