| Reverse description | Printed in blue on cream paper, the reverse is framed by a geometric ornamental border with repeating oval and hatched patterns on the lateral panels. The central text panel, set in Gothic script, states the legal basis for issue — the municipal committee resolution of 14 April 1920 — and the redemption period from 1 to 31 December 1920, with the printer's imprint of Josef Feichtingers Erben, Linz, and a caveat against counterfeiting at the foot. |

| Comments |
Hinterstoder is a small alpine village in Upper Austria, and like hundreds of Austrian municipalities in 1920, it issued its own emergency small change — Notgeld — to compensate for the near-total disappearance of metal coins from circulation following the economic collapse at the end of the First World War. These hyper-local issues were a genuine administrative headache: each municipality had to arrange printing independently, which is why Josef Feichtingers Erben in Linz handled so many Upper Austrian communal issues of this period.
The "b" variant designation in the Jaksc/Pick reference typically indicates a printing or paper distinction within the same denomination series — worth checking against the "a" type before cataloging.
