| Beschrijving keerzijde | The reverse repeats the same bipartite layout as the obverse, printed in dark brown on a cream ground with a wavy-line guilloche underprint throughout, but without the teal outer border frame present on the obverse. The left panel again shows the denomination '10 hl.' in large Gothic script with the central stylized vignette and the place and date inscription 'Kössen, Juni 1920' at the foot. The right panel reproduces the identical blackletter text block with denomination, issuer name, validity date, and the three manuscript signatures of municipal officials. |

Kössen is a small market village in the Tyrolean district of Kitzbühel, and like hundreds of Austrian municipalities in 1920, it issued its own Notgeld to compensate for the catastrophic shortage of small-denomination coins following the collapse of the Habsburg economy. The 10 Heller denomination was among the most commonly issued values — useful for everyday transactions that larger notes could not cover.
Austrian municipal Notgeld of this period was printed in enormous variety, often locally, with quality ranging from professional lithography to near-amateur presswork. Kössen's issue falls into a category where surviving examples frequently show fold wear from actual circulation rather than collector hoarding.
