| Reverse description | The reverse is divided into two panels: the left panel contains a finely executed line-engraved vignette of the Ternberg parish church with its distinctive onion-domed tower and steep-roofed nave set among trees.

A decorative floral guilloche band runs along the lower edge of the right panel. |

| Comments |
Ternberg is a small market commune in Upper Austria, and this 10 Heller note is a product of the Notgeld wave that swept Austria's municipalities after the collapse of the Habsburg economy left coin virtually impossible to source. E. Prichaj was a Steyr-based printer handling emergency issues for several Upper Austrian communities during this period — local work, not a specialist security printer.
The single signature, Grosstessner, almost certainly represents the municipal administrator responsible for authorizing the issue rather than a bank official.
