To the left stands a male figure in traditional Austrian rural dress, to the right a female figure in folk costume holding flowers, both rendered in a folk-art illustrative style. Two circular medallions at upper left and right each bear the denomination '10 HELLER'; the validity period inscription appears at upper left, an anti-counterfeiting warning at upper right, and the signatures of the Schulaufseher and Obmann are printed at the lower left and right respectively.

Comments

This is an Austrian Notgeld issue from Steinakirchen am Forst, a small Lower Austrian municipality. The issuer — a Zweckverband, literally a "special-purpose association" of school district communes — is unusual. Most Notgeld from the 1920 hyperinflationary period was issued by municipalities directly or by savings institutions; a school catchment authority issuing emergency currency reflects just how thoroughly the Austrian monetary collapse pushed administrative improvisation into places no one had anticipated.

Printed by Libertas in St. Pölten, a press responsible for a significant volume of Lower Austrian Notgeld during this period.
