| Obverse description | The obverse is printed in blue-grey and brown tones with a floral guilloche border enclosing the entire design. A central rectangular vignette presents a photographic-style scene of the Schneeberg rack railway (Zahnradbahn) station, with the mountain rising behind it, figures on the platform, and a locomotive visible at lower right. Denomination panels reading '10 Heller' in bold gothic script appear in octagonal cartouches at left and right, with the issuer's name 'Marktgemeinde Puchberg a. Sch.' in cursive script across the top; redemption text and the issue date '16. Mai 1920' are inscribed in the lower lateral panels. |

| Reverse description | The reverse is printed in brown on plain cream paper with a simple single-line rectangular border frame. The entire field is occupied by a block of promotional text in gothic (Fraktur) script, headed by the title 'Puchberg am Schneeberg' and followed by a descriptive paragraph extolling the town's alpine scenery, forests, walking paths, and the rack railway ascent of the Hochschneeberg. |
| Reverse lettering | Puchberg am Schneeberg. Von Wien in zirka zweistündiger Bahnfahrt erreichbar, breitet sich Puchberg am Fuße des Schneebergs aus, dessen Alpenpracht sich hier in vollem Glanze zeigt. Eine Folge der nahen, ozonreichen Hochwälder, Almen und Triften ist das erfrischende, belebende Klima. Nach allen Richtungen ziehen bequeme, gut markierte Promenadenewege auf ebenem und sanft ansteigendem Gelände. Die herrlichsten Landschaftsbilder bietet jedoch die Besteigung des Hochschneebergs. Wer aber die Mühen mehrstündigen Wanderns scheut, kann die Zahnradbahn benützen, welche in einstündiger Fahrt den Berg erklimmt. |
