| Beschrijving voorzijde | The obverse is printed in red-orange and green on cream paper, with the denomination numeral '10' in large diamond-shaped cartouches at upper left and right, flanked by ornamental guilloche borders. A central vignette presents a letterpress view of the Hotel Bellevue set against a hillside landscape, captioned 'HOTEL BELLEVUE'. The upper inscription reads 'KASSENSCHEIN DES KURORTES VÖSLAU', with 'ZEHN HELLER' in bold vertical lettering on both lateral panels; the lower portion carries the authorising text of the municipal council, dated 5 June 1920, with four manuscript signatures above the printer's imprint 'ROBERT LEITNER'. |

| Beschrijving keerzijde | The reverse is printed in black on cream paper in a decorative Art Nouveau style, with a central heraldic vignette of the Vöslau municipal coat of arms — a shield bearing a vine and barrel motif, framed by elaborate foliate scrollwork. Two columns of German text flank the shield: the left column states that the vouchers are issued by the Gemeinde Vöslau to alleviate the small-change shortage and are valid from 1 to 31 December 1920; the right column declares that the notes will be redeemed by the Gemeinde Vöslau in legal tender and that counterfeiting is subject to legal penalty. The title 'KASSENSCHEIN DES KURORTES VOESLAU' appears across the top in bold lettering, with the printer's imprint 'ROBERT LEITNER' at the bottom centre. |

Vöslau's Heller notgeld belongs to the vast wave of Austrian municipal emergency currency issued after the First World War, when the collapse of the Habsburg monetary system left local governments scrambling to maintain small-denomination liquidity. Robert Leitner serving as both designer and printer was common for provincial notgeld — small regional print shops absorbed this work almost entirely, which accounts for the enormous variation in quality across surviving examples from different municipalities.
A print run of over twelve million for a single small commune is striking. Baden bei Wien, the district seat, drew considerable spa tourism, and Vöslau's own spa trade likely drove genuine circulation demand rather than the speculative collector issues many contemporaries produced.
