| Obverse description | The obverse is printed in dark brown ink on grey-toned paper and is divided into an upper and lower register. The upper portion bears two boxed numeral '10' denominational panels flanking a central title cartouche in Gothic blackletter script reading 'Kassenschein der Marktgemeinde Obernberg a. Inn'. The lower register presents a lengthy liability text in Gothic script, bordered by ornamental scrollwork framing, with the town coat of arms — a heraldic lion passant — in a vignette at lower left, and a manuscript facsimile signature of the Bürgermeister at centre-right. |

Denominal '10' panels appear at upper left and upper right. The central cartouche below the main vignette carries the place and date inscription in Gothic script, and an anti-counterfeiting warning appears in two columns flanking the central scene. |

| Comments |
Obernberg am Inn is a small market town on the Austrian bank of the Inn River, directly opposite Bavaria. The 10 Heller note from 1920 belongs to the vast wave of Austrian Notgeld issued when postwar coin shortages left small communities printing their own emergency small-change paper — a phenomenon that produced thousands of distinct local issues across Austria between roughly 1919 and 1921.
The JPR prefix in the Jaksc/Pick reference places this firmly in the Austrian notgeld series catalogued by Holger Jaksc, whose numbering supplements the standard Pick listings for issues too localized to have received mainstream attention.
