| Obverse description | Printed in dark carmine-brown on a pale green underprint, the note is framed by a decorative scrollwork border with voluted corners. Two oval vignettes occupy the centre field: the left vignette presents a rural farmhouse labelled 'Pfarrhof', while the right depicts a wayside chapel in a wooded lane labelled 'Kapelle in Presin'. The denomination '10' appears in large numerals between the vignettes, with 'Heller' and 'Manning' rendered in ornate Gothic script below and 'Gemeinde' in matching calligraphic lettering above. |

Manning is a small municipality in Upper Austria, and like hundreds of similar communities across the former Habsburg lands, it resorted to issuing its own emergency paper money — Notgeld — after the collapse of the imperial currency system left rural areas chronically short of small change. These local issues were never coordinated by any central authority; each Gemeinde designed, printed, and signed its own notes independently, which is why the two manuscript signatures here carry genuine administrative weight rather than being ceremonial.
The 578a designation in the KK Banknoten catalog suggests at least one variant exists within this issue — likely a color or paper difference rather than a denomination change.
