| Obverse description | The note is divided into three vertical panels within a decorative border. The left panel bears a circular vignette with a stylized monogram or town emblem above the date 1267, with the denomination '10 Heller' in bold Gothic lettering at the foot and the redemption notice 'Einlösungstermin bis 31. Dez. 1920' beneath the word 'Notgeld'. The central panel carries the issuer's name 'Marktgemeinde St. Veit a.d. Gölsen' in an arc above a large oval landscape vignette printed in pink-red, showing a panoramic view of the market town set against a forested hillside, with two manuscript signatures below for the Finanzreferent and Bürgermeister. The right panel mirrors the left in layout, displaying a second circular emblem above the date 1334, the word 'Notgeld' with the anti-counterfeiting warning 'Nachahmung wird bestraft!' and the denomination '10 Heller' at the base. |

| Comments |
St. Veit an der Gölsen is a small market town in Lower Austria, and this 10 Heller note is a product of the postwar Notgeld wave that flooded Austria between 1919 and 1921. The collapse of the Habsburg economy left municipal and regional authorities issuing their own emergency small-denomination scrip simply because the central government could not supply enough coin or low-value paper to meet everyday transactional needs.
The Jaksch reference places this squarely in the Austrian local Notgeld corpus. Most pieces from villages of this size were printed in modest quantities and redeemed locally — survival rates vary enormously.
