| Obverse description | Printed in red on cream paper, the obverse centres on a bold woodcut-style vignette of a helmeted soldier bust in full face, with large spread wings rising from behind the helmet in an Art Deco idiom. The denomination numeral '10' appears in large outlined figures within ruled panels at left and right of the vignette, each captioned 'FILERI' beneath, all framed within a geometric foliate border. A multi-line Romanian-language letterpress inscription runs across the lower field, citing the legal-tender backing of the assignat. |

The Câștieria Orașului Timișoara — the city cashier's office of Timișoara — issued these small-denomination emergency notes in 1919 during the chaotic interregnum following the collapse of Austro-Hungarian authority. The region changed hands that year: Romanian forces entered Timișoara in August 1919, ending a short-lived Banat Republic and a brief Serbian occupation. Local municipal notes like this one filled a genuine void, as the old crown-based coinage had effectively ceased to function and replacement currency had not yet arrived in sufficient quantities.
The filér denomination places it firmly in the dying Habsburg monetary system — Romania would not integrate the region into its own leu-based currency until the stabilization measures of the early 1920s.
