At left, a boxed panel carries the numeral "10" and the written denomination "Zehn Heller," followed by the validity clause "Giltig bis 30. Dez. 1920" and a four-line guarantee and anti-counterfeiting text in German. At right, a vignette of the Josef Datzberger Gasthaus inn is set within a landscape vignette with three manuscript facsimile signatures of municipal officials below, identified by their titles Bürgermeister, Vicebürgermeister, and Gemeinderat. |

| Comments |
Dorf Haag is a small market town in Lower Austria, and like hundreds of Austrian municipalities it resorted to locally printed Notgeld during the severe coin shortages of the First World War. The F. Nielar press in nearby Amstetten handled several such emergency issues for communities across the region — a practical arrangement when speed and low cost mattered more than engraving quality.
Hans Kozak's involvement as designer is the only detail that lifts this above pure utility printing.
