| Obverse description | Printed in dark blue on plain paper stock, the obverse is divided into three vertical panels within a double-ruled border. The left and right panels each contain the numeral '10' set within a rope-work circular frame. The central vignette presents a rural scene of a farmer ploughing a field with a horse-drawn plough beneath a dramatic sky with billowing clouds, rendered in a woodcut-style illustration. The issuer's title 'Gutschein der Gemeinden' appears in bold letterpress at the top, with 'Oberndorf, Redlham und Schlatt' in large display type along the lower margin. |

This is a Notgeld issue — emergency small-change currency produced by local authorities across Austria and Germany in the years following World War One, when coin metal was hoarded and official small denominations effectively vanished from circulation. The joint issue by three neighboring Upper Austrian municipalities is unusual; most Notgeld came from a single town or district authority, and the tripartite signature arrangement reflects genuine administrative cooperation rather than ceremonial formality.
Printed locally by Schmirer in Schwanenstadt, the note never traveled far from the communities that needed it.
