| Obverse description | The face is divided into a main panel and a detachable right coupon, both printed in brown by letterpress. The central panel bears a rectangular vignette of Schloss Rodaun amid trees beneath a clouded sky, framed by foliate scrollwork above and flanked by circular denomination cartouches reading "80 HELLER" at left and right, all surrounded by intricate black decorative borders with stylised leaf and tendril motifs. The lower margin carries the Gothic-lettered inscription "Kassenschein der Gemeinde RODAUN N.Oe.", while the detachable coupon at right displays a large red numeral "80" with "HELLER" printed vertically alongside. |

Rodaun was a small village southwest of Vienna — today absorbed into the 23rd district — that issued its own emergency currency during the acute coin shortage of the First World War and its aftermath. These Gemeinde-issued Heller notes were a hyperlocal fix: printed by F. Seltenberg in Vienna and put into circulation by a municipality of a few thousand residents who needed small change more than they needed monetary theory.
The JPR0840IIa designation places this within the Jaksch cataloguing of Austrian Notgeld, a field where variant tracking matters — paper type, overprint color, and serial placement can distinguish common issues from genuinely scarce ones within the same face denomination.
