The obverse is printed in purple on buff paper and carries a woodcut-style landscape vignette occupying most of the face, showing two prominent rock formations flanked by coniferous and deciduous trees, with a cloud-filled sky above. A decorative cartouche at the upper centre bears the legend "Gutschein der" in Gothic script, while the denomination numeral "10" appears in a shield cartouche at the lower left and the word "Heller" in a matching device at the lower right. A banner along the bottom reads "Ortsgemeinde Lausa b. Losenstein" in flowing script, with the artist's monogram "H.M." visible at the lower left margin. |

Lausa bei Losenstein is a small rural commune in Upper Austria, and this note is a product of the Notgeld emergency that swept Austrian municipalities in 1919–1920 when small-denomination coins disappeared almost entirely from circulation. Thousands of Gemeinden issued their own paper to fill the gap — most in tiny print runs, distributed locally and rarely traveling far.
Paper Heller notes from villages this small were often printed by local stationers or district printers with no numismatic intention whatsoever. Survival is a matter of chance rather than preservation effort.
