| Reverse description | The reverse is composed entirely of intricate geometric and floral guilloche work printed in violet and green on a rose-tinted latticework underprint, with no central pictorial vignette. The denomination «10» appears repeatedly in ornate panels alongside the word SCHILLINGE, arranged in a symmetrical grid pattern across the full face of the note. Large rosette medallions anchor the left and right edges, and serial number components are printed in green at the upper margin. |

| Comments |
Austria's postwar hyperinflation had been so severe that by the time the Oesterreichische Nationalbank was re-established in 1923, the old Krone had lost virtually all value — the Schilling introduced in 1925 was set at 10,000 Krone, and this 10 Schillinge note was among the first denominations issued under the new monetary order. Rudolf Junk was a prominent Viennese graphic artist, and Karl Sterrer an established academic painter; pairing them on banknote design reflected a deliberate cultural ambition in the new currency's presentation.
The series is known to have been withdrawn relatively quickly as the denomination proved awkward in daily use.
