| Obverse description | Printed in dark blue on cream paper by letterpress, the obverse carries the title inscription 'Kassenschein der Marktgemeinde Ober-Wölbling' in large decorative script across the top, with the denomination '10 Heller' set within a ruled cartouche to the right and the word 'über' above the numeral. To the left, a circular vignette within an ornate foliate surround presents a view of the Forsthaus Landersdorf, a rural forester's house set among trees, with the caption 'Forsthaus Landersdorf' in italic script beneath. Three facsimile manuscript signatures appear below, above their respective printed titles: DER VICEBÜRGERMEISTER, DER BÜRGERMEISTER, and DER GESCHÄFTSFÜHRENDE GEMEINDERAT. |

Ober-Wölbling is a small market town in Lower Austria, and this note is a Notgeld issue — emergency small-change currency produced at the municipal level during the acute coin shortage that gripped Austria from around 1916 onward. The printer, Buchdruckerei Herzogenburg, was a local press in the nearby town of Herzogenburg, roughly four kilometres away. Three signatures appear on the note, almost certainly representing members of the Marktgemeinde's administrative council rather than banking officials.
The three-signature requirement was common in smaller Austrian Notgeld issues as a check against unauthorized emission.
