| Beschrijving voorzijde | The obverse presents a panoramic letterpress vignette of the Rabenstein village landscape, with the ruins of Rabenstein Castle at left and the parish church and surrounding buildings at centre-right, set against a hillside background. In the upper right corner, a cartouche with a lyre motif encloses a small view of a hilltop structure inscribed 'Ganns' and dated '1873'. The denomination and issuer legend appear in Gothic blackletter script at upper left, with three manuscript facsimile signatures below — those of the Vizebürgermeister, the Bürgermeister, and a Gemeinderatsmember — and the year '1920' rendered in decorative script at lower centre. The note is framed by a ruled border with a yellow guilloche underprint. |

Rabenstein an der Pielach is a small market town in the Pielach valley, and like hundreds of Austrian municipalities in 1920, it issued its own emergency small change — Notgeld — to fill the coin shortage that persisted long after the war's end. The Habsburg copper and nickel coinage had largely vanished from circulation through hoarding and metal collection drives, and the new Austrian state was in no condition to replace it quickly.
Sommer of St. Pölten was a regional printer serving several Lower Austrian communities during this period, which accounts for the workmanlike but locally grounded character of these issues. Few survive in quantity; municipal Notgeld was redeemed and destroyed once coinage returned.
