Green letterpress note centered on a vignette of Schloss St. Hubertus, a half-timbered manor house set amid dense foliage with clouds in the background, identified by a ribbon cartouche at lower center. The denomination "10" appears in large numerals at lower left and right, with "Heller" beneath each, while the issuer legend "Gutschein von Dorf Haag" is inscribed in Gothic script across the upper field. The note's margins are framed by an ornamental underprint of scrollwork and foliate corner pieces, with the designer credit "Entwurf: Hans Kozak" and printer imprint "Druck v. F. Nielar, Amstetten" printed in small type along the lower border. |

Green letterpress reverse dominated by a Gothic-script heading "Gutschein der Gemeinde Dorf Haag" with the sub-legend "Bezirk Amstetten – Nied.-Oesterr." beneath, all within a decorative border of interlocking geometric and foliate ornaments. 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. |

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.
