To the right, the issuer name and voucher designation appear in bold blackletter script, with the denomination numeral '10' in large blue letterpress type below, followed by 'Heller' in smaller text. A two-column redemption text in Gothic script occupies the lower-left panel, accompanied by two manuscript facsimile signatures above their respective titles. |

Austrian Notgeld from a small market commune in Lower Austria, issued during the acute coin shortage that gripped the Habsburg successor state after 1918. Götzendorf an der Leitha lies southeast of Vienna near the Hungarian border — a detail that occasionally causes these notes to be misattributed in mixed Austro-Hungarian Notgeld lots.
The JPR0246 series from this commune is among the less-documented local issues. Collector interest in small-denomination Heller Notgeld has historically been inconsistent, which means surviving examples turn up in odd conditions — heavily handled or, conversely, unissued remainders that never left the municipality.
