The lower banner reads "Marktgemeinde Klein-Pöchlarn" and the date "im April 1920" appears within the right-hand text column. |

Klein-Pöchlarn is a small market commune on the south bank of the Danube in Lower Austria, and this 10 Heller note is a product of the Notgeld wave that swept Austrian municipalities after the First World War — local authorities printing their own small-denomination scrip to address the acute coin shortage that followed the collapse of the Habsburg monetary system. The JPR reference places this within the Jaksch catalog of Austrian municipal issues, a sprawling and often poorly-documented series.
The printed date of 30 April 1945 requires scrutiny: that date falls at the very end of World War II, when Klein-Pöchlarn was in the final days of German occupation. A 1920-issued Notgeld note carrying a 1945 stamp almost certainly reflects a later archival or collector notation, not original issue dating.
