| Obverse description | Printed in red and black on white paper, the obverse is dominated by a large gothic-script denomination '10 Heller' at the top, below which the date '15. Juni 1920' and place name 'Siezenheim Salzburg' appear. A central cartouche in lighter underprint carries the redemption text in Kurrent script, followed by the facsimile signatures of the Bürgermeister and three Gemeinderäte. A comb-tooth border frames all four sides, and an anti-counterfeiting warning with the printer's imprint 'Buchdruckerei Zaunrith Salzburg' runs along the lower margin. |

| Comments |
Siezenheim's 1920 Heller notes belong to the vast wave of Austrian municipal notgeld produced when the post-war collapse of central monetary authority left small communities printing their own fractional currency to cover change shortages. Buchdruckerei Zaunrith, a Salzburg commercial printer, produced issues for several surrounding parishes during this period — nothing exotic about the arrangement, but it places this note firmly in a regional network of emergency municipal finance rather than any isolated local initiative.
Four signatories authenticated each note: the Bürgermeister and three named Gemeinderäte, an unusually full council endorsement for a 10 Heller denomination.
