The heading 'GUTSCHEIN' is set in decorative lettering at the top centre between the two coin vignettes. The text panel states the municipality's obligation to redeem the notes in legal tender between 15 and 31 December 1920, dated 'im Mai 1920'. Three manuscript signatures of municipal officials appear at the foot, with their titles 'der Gemeinderat', 'der Bürgermeister', and 'der s. Gemeinderat'. A vertical panel at the far right carries the denomination 'ZEHN HELLER' in stylised lettering within a geometric border. |

Meggenhofen is a small agricultural commune in Upper Austria, and this 10 Heller note is a product of the acute small-change shortage that gripped Austria in the immediate postwar years. The collapse of the Habsburg monetary system left local communities effectively on their own — hundreds of Austrian municipalities issued their own Notgeld between 1919 and 1921, and Gemeinde Meggenhofen was no exception. These hyper-local emissions were authorized under emergency provisions and were theoretically redeemable at the issuing municipality, though enforcement was uneven at best.
The Jaksch/Pick reference places this within the documented Upper Austrian municipal series, a group that remains incompletely catalogued in most general references.
