Flanking the vignette on each side are diamond-shaped ornamental cartouches enclosing the denomination numeral '10' above the word 'Heller' within circular black roundels, set against a crosshatched pink underprint with decorative scroll borders. The designer's credit 'Jos. Walt Linz' appears at the lower right margin, and a Gothic-script inscription runs along the bottom panel. |

| Comments |
Pfarrkirchen im Mühlkreis is a small Upper Austrian commune, and this 10 Heller note belongs to the vast wave of Notgeld issued across Austria and Germany from 1914 onward as small coins disappeared from circulation almost immediately after mobilization. Hoarders and metal drives stripped out the fractional coinage that ordinary transactions depended on, leaving municipalities to fill the gap themselves.
Jos. Walt was a Linz-based designer responsible for a number of Upper Austrian communal emergency issues — local production, not a major security printer.
