| Obverse description | Brown letterpress Notgeld note on cream paper with a wavy-line guilloche underprint, centred on a rectangular vignette by K. Rohrhofer showing the Rathaus of Hadersdorf am Kamp framed by trees. Flanking the vignette, two shield cartouches each bear the denomination '10' above 'Heller' and the respective official's title — 'der Bürgerm.' at left, 'der Vicebürgerm.' at right — with a figural coat-of-arms device in the right shield. The title 'Gutschein der Gemeinde Hadersdorf am Kamp' is set in Gothic blackletter across the upper margin, followed by a liability guarantee clause in smaller type. |

| Reverse description | Plain cream paper reverse printed entirely in black Fraktur (blackletter) type, without vignette or decorative border. The upper section carries a four-line dialect verse in humorous reference to the note's emergency origins, followed by a formal redemption notice stating the Kassenschein is non-interest-bearing and redeemable in legal tender by the Gemeinde Hadersdorf am Kamp throughout December 1920. A statutory counterfeiting warning closes the text at foot. |

| Comments |
One of thousands of Austrian municipal notgeld issues that flooded circulation after the collapse of the Habsburg monetary system following World War I. Hadersdorf am Kamp, a small wine-producing market town in Lower Austria, issued these emergency notes when coin shortages made even minor commercial transactions difficult. The designer credit to K. Rohrhofer suggests local rather than commercial production — a common arrangement among smaller Gemeinden that lacked the budget or scale to commission professional printers.
The JPR0324b suffix indicates a variant within the series, likely differentiated by a minor typographic or color change.
