| Beschrijving voorzijde | The obverse is dominated by a central heraldic vignette rendered in letterpress using a Gothic woodcut style, presenting the historical coat of arms of the Chreusspache family as it appeared in 1299 and 1360, comprising two quartered shields surmounted by a crested tournament helm with mantling and flanked by crossed swords. The legend 'Wappen der Chreusspache 1299 1360' is set in Fraktur script to either side of the crest, while the edition inscription '1. Auflage' (First Issue) appears at the top of the note. The overall design is printed in black on plain paper stock, consistent with Austrian municipal Notgeld emergency currency of the early 1920s. |

Kreisbach is a small village in Lower Austria — the kind of place that would never appear in a banknote catalog under normal circumstances. This note exists because Austria's catastrophic coin shortage following the First World War forced even the smallest rural municipalities to issue their own emergency currency, the so-called Notgeld. The Heller denominations were particularly necessary: fractional coins had all but vanished from circulation by 1920, hoarded or melted.
Municipal issues at this scale were typically printed in very limited runs by local or regional printers, with no central oversight on design or quality. Kreisbach's series is catalogued under Jaksch, the primary reference for Austrian local issues, which alone places it outside the mainstream Pick listings.
