| Obverse description | Printed in dark mauve-brown on pale rose paper, the central vignette presents a detailed landscape view of the Eberstallzell parish church with its onion-domed steeple set among trees and outbuildings beneath a cloudy sky. The denomination numeral '10' appears in each of the four corners within circular frames, and an acanthus-scroll floral border frames the entire design on the left and right margins. The legend 'ZEHN HELLER' arcs across the upper border, with 'EBERSTALLZELL' inscribed along the lower border. |

Eberstallzell is a small rural commune in Upper Austria, and this 10 Heller notgeld was issued in 1920 as part of the vast wave of municipal emergency currency that flooded Austria following the collapse of the Habsburg economy. The printer, Brüder R. Kasberger of Agen, was a regional operation — not one of the major Vienna or Graz houses — which gives these notes a distinctly provincial character in both execution and paper quality.
Small-commune notgeld from Upper Austria in this period was often printed in very limited runs, redeemed quickly, and discarded. Surviving examples tend to come from collector sets rather than actual circulation.
