| Reverse description | A light yellow-ochre underprint of the old coat of arms of Haag occupies the centre of the reverse, surrounded by the redemption text set in two justified columns of roman type. The numeral "10" appears at each corner, and the note title "Gutschein der Gemeinde Haag" is repeated in bold blackletter at both the top and bottom margins, framing the body text. A small decorative cross motif closes the main text block. |

One of thousands of Austrian Notgeld issues produced in the chaotic months following the collapse of the Habsburg monarchy, this Haag am Hausruck note reflects the near-total breakdown of small change circulation in 1919. The new Republic of German-Austria had inherited a currency system in freefall, and communities down to the village level were left to print their own emergency fractions when coins simply vanished from everyday trade.
The JPR318-IIa designation suggests a second type within the Haag series — small compositional or authorization differences between variants are common in Lower Austrian Notgeld and can be difficult to distinguish without direct comparison.
