| Beschrijving keerzijde | Plain cream paper printed in green with a simple double-rule rectangular border. Two denomination panels each bearing the numeral '10' are set at the upper left and upper right, flanking a central Gothic-script heading reading 'Gutschein der Gemeinde Neukirchen bei Lambach'. Below, a block of text in Roman script states the municipality's redemption obligation in lawful currency to 31 December 1920 and confirms that a dedicated reserve fund has been established; the Bürgermeister's printed name 'Franz Schmalwieser' appears at lower right. A cautionary anti-counterfeiting notice in Gothic script is enclosed in a ruled panel at the foot of the note. |

One of thousands of Austrian Notgeld issues printed during the severe coin shortage of the First World War and its immediate aftermath, this 10 Heller note from the small Upper Austrian municipality of Neukirchen bei Lambach belongs to a category of emergency municipal scrip that was technically illegal under imperial monetary law — yet tolerated, then retrospectively authorized, because the alternative was simply no small change at all.
The signatory, Franz Schmalwieser, was almost certainly the Bürgermeister at time of issue. Local officials signed these personally, which made each note a quasi-municipal guarantee rather than a banking instrument.
