| Beschrijving keerzijde | Unadorned cream paper with no underprint, carrying the word 'Gutschein' in large blackletter type at the top.

A justification clause in smaller Gothic letterpress type below records that the voucher was issued pursuant to a municipal committee resolution of 21 March 1920 to alleviate the prevailing small-change shortage. |

Mettmach is a small Upper Austrian village, and its 1920 Heller notgeld belongs to the vast wave of municipal emergency currency issued across Austria following the economic collapse that followed the First World War. The central government could not supply enough small change, so thousands of communes — some with populations in the hundreds — printed their own. Mettmach was one of them. The signatory, Joh. Hütter, almost certainly served as Bürgermeister or a senior municipal official, though his name does not appear in wider historical records.
The Jaksc/Pick reference suffix "IIa" suggests at least two recognized varieties exist for this denomination from this issuer.
