| Obverse description | The obverse is printed in blue ink and enclosed within a fine decorative border with ornamental corner devices. The upper portion bears the title 'Kassenschein' in Gothic blackletter script within a framed panel, beneath which 'Gemeinde Manglburg' and the denomination 'Zehn Heller' appear in bold Gothic type. To the left, a landscape vignette shows a rural farmstead or mill building with the caption 'Manglburg' below it; to the right, a text block states the redemption conditions, followed by the facsimile signature of the Bürgermeister Johann Hämblüshner and the warning 'Nachahmung strafbar'. The year '1920' appears in the lower right corner, with the denomination numeral '10' flanked by 'H.' abbreviations at the bottom centre. |

| Reverse description | The reverse is printed in blue ink with an elaborate decorative border incorporating stylised floral and geometric ornaments, with two circular medallions in the upper corners inscribed 'Gemeinde Manglburg' and 'Ober-Österreich' respectively. The central field is occupied entirely by a formal text in Gothic script citing the municipal council resolution of 24 April 1920, authorising the issue of emergency vouchers totalling 27,000 Kronen to alleviate the small-change shortage, redeemable in lawful currency four weeks after announcement of the redemption date. The printer's imprint 'Pressverein Arbeskirchen' appears in small type at the lower left of the text block. |

Manglburg is a small settlement in Upper Austria, and this 10 Heller Notgeld is a product of the post-WWI currency collapse that forced Austrian municipalities — many of them tiny — to print their own emergency small change when coin circulation collapsed after 1918. The Pressverein Arbeskirchen was a local print cooperative, not a commercial security printer, which is exactly what you'd expect for a village-level issue of this kind.
The 1945 printed date is almost certainly a cataloging or transcription error — Heller-denomination Notgeld of this type belongs firmly to the 1920–1922 window.
