| Reverse description | Printed in the same reddish-brown tone, the reverse is dominated by a large circular central vignette reproducing the medieval civic seal of Ybbs, showing a fortified town gate with two towers, a portcullis, and a heraldic shield, surrounded by the Latin legend 'SIGILLVM CIVITATIS YBBSENSIS' with a cross. The denomination '10' appears in small panels at upper left and right within the decorative border, with the validity inscription 'Gültig bis 31. Dezember 1920' along the left margin and a counterfeiting warning along the right margin. The motto 'In großer Not ward's ein Gebot' runs across the top above the border. |

| Comments |
Austrian municipal notgeld from the postwar inflation period, issued under the authority of the Stadtgemeinde Ybbs. The Ybbs series was printed by Emil Prietzel in Steyr — a small commercial printer handling civic emergency currency for several Upper Austrian municipalities during 1920 and 1921, when the central government could not meet demand for low-denomination coinage.
The JPR1258a designation places this within Jaksch's notgeld catalog, which documented hundreds of such local issues. Collector demand rather than genuine circulation need drove many late-issue Austrian notgeld into print; by 1920, the hobby market was already absorbing full print runs directly.
