| Reverse description | The reverse is printed entirely in green on pink paper and is occupied by a large panoramic vignette of the village of Pötting, rendered in a detailed line-drawn style within a double-ruled rectangular frame with cut corners. The scene shows rural buildings and farm structures in the foreground amid lush foliage, with the village church steeple rising prominently to the right against a clouded sky. A faint handwritten inscription appears at the lower centre of the vignette. |

| Comments |
Pötting is a small parish in Upper Austria — population a few hundred even today — and this 10 Heller note is a product of the postwar Notgeld wave that swept through Austrian municipalities between 1919 and 1921. The collapse of the Austro-Hungarian monetary system left small communities without adequate coin in circulation, particularly for low-denomination transactions. Local authorities responded by printing their own emergency scrip, typically in small runs with crude typography and minimal security features.
The "b" variant designation in the Jaksch reference suggests at least two distinct printings or paper types exist for this denomination, worth tracking if building a complete Pötting set.
