| Reverse description | Printed in warm brown tones over a wavy-line underprint, the reverse is centred on a detailed vignette of the Gothic Perchtoldsdorf defensive tower set against a radiating background. Two circular denomination roundels each reading 10 HELLER flank the tower, surrounded by oak-branch sprays and surmounted by small crown vignettes at the upper corners, while GEMEINDE PERCHTOLDSDORF runs vertically on both sides of the central panel and KASSEN and SCHEIN appear in the upper left and right corners respectively. The designer credit ENTW. PROF. ACH. LEHMANN is printed along the lower centre margin, with the anti-counterfeiting legend NACHAHMUNG WIRD GESETZLICH BESTRAFT below. |

| Comments |
Perchtoldsdorf is a market town south of Vienna, and this 10 Heller emergency note is one of the Austrian Notgeld issues that flooded the country between 1919 and 1921 — a direct consequence of the post-war coin shortage that left small transactions impossible to complete with official currency. Thousands of Austrian municipalities printed their own, and the quality varies wildly. The Perchtoldsdorf series is among the more carefully produced local issues, with Achilles Lehmann — a documented Viennese designer — credited on the note itself, an attribution not all Notgeld bothered to include.
