| Beschrijving voorzijde | Printed in purple-brown on cream paper, the obverse is centred on a circular vignette enclosed within a decorative floral and foliage border, showing a view of the church and fortified tower of Weissenkirchen an der Donau amid trees and clouds. The denomination '10 Heller' appears in bold letterpress at both left and right flanking the vignette, with vertical line guilloche panels at the outer edges. Below the vignette, a cartouche carries the place name 'Weissenkirchen a/d. Donau', while the left margin bears the issuing authority text 'Wachauer Gutschein der Marktgemeinde Spitz' and the right margin the validity statement 'Notgeld Giltig bis 30. September 1920'. The designer and printer credits appear in small text at the lower left and right respectively. |

| Opmerkingen |
Wachau notgeld is among the most artistically ambitious of the Austrian emergency currency issues, and the Spitz an der Donau series is a particular standout. Eduard Sieger of Vienna handled the printing, but the designs were commissioned from Liesl Kinzel — an unusual choice that gave the series a distinctly regional, hand-crafted character rather than the mechanical look of most municipal issues.
The Weissenkirchen designation places this note within the broader Wachau topographic series, each piece keyed to a specific village along the Danube. By 1920 the inflationary pressure driving notgeld production had shifted from pure coin shortage toward outright collector demand — Sieger and similar printers were well aware of the philatelic market by this point.
