The obverse is printed in dark olive-green on salmon-orange paper, with a geometric Art Nouveau border frame enclosing the entire composition. A central oval vignette presents a townscape of Oehling with a church tower and municipal buildings set against a clouded sky, the oval supported below by a decorative spray of foliage. A small rectangular vignette in the upper left corner contains a sheaf of grain, while the denomination numeral '10' appears in the lower centre panel flanked by the words 'ZEHN' and 'HELLER'. Issuer information is lettered in a stylised typeface at the upper right. |

Oehling is a small rural municipality in Lower Austria, and this Heller note is a product of the Notgeld wave that swept Austrian communes from 1919 onward as small coinage vanished entirely from circulation. The printer, Queiser of Amstetten, handled emergency currency for a number of communities in the St. Pölten-Amstetten corridor — a regional shop producing local solutions to a national coinage shortage.
Three signatories is unusual for a note of this denomination. Josef Hinterholzer, Franz Hehenberger, and Johann Kickinger likely represented the municipal council quorum required to validate the issue, a formality that added legal weight to what was essentially printed scrip.
