| Reverse description | The reverse is printed in deep green on cream paper and carries two landscape vignettes: an upper oval view of a log farmhouse among fir trees captioned 'Krieglach Alpl. Rosegger's Geburtshaus', and a lower oval view of a forest structure captioned 'Waldheimat-Waldschule in Alpl'. The denomination numeral '10' appears in large format at left and right, flanked by the word 'Heller' in each corner, all within an ornamental border of guilloche scrollwork and scalloped edges. The central text panel carries the redemption clause signed by the Bürgermeister and two Vicebürgermeister, with a counterfeiting warning at the foot. |

| Comments |
Krieglach, a small market town in Styria, issued emergency paper currency during the coin shortage that gripped Austria following the First World War. These Heller Notgeld pieces were municipal stopgaps — authorized locally to cover the complete disappearance of small-denomination coinage from everyday commerce. The Gemeinde had no printing infrastructure of its own, and most Styrian municipal issues of this type were produced by regional jobbing printers working from simple typeset or lithographic layouts.
The JPR0480c series designation suggests multiple Krieglach issues exist, this being one variant within that grouping — worth noting for collectors tracking the full set.
