The central panel, set on a fine geometric guilloche underprint, carries the heading 'Kassenschein' flanked by ornamental dots, a text stating the total issue limit of 30,000 Kronen and the redemption deadline of 31 December 1920, an anti-counterfeiting warning 'Nachahmung wird gesetzlich bestraft', and a bottom banner reading 'Ein Gebot der bittern Not'.

| Comments |
Scheibbs is a small market town in Lower Austria, and like hundreds of similar municipalities it issued its own emergency small change — Notgeld — during the postwar currency crisis when coins had all but vanished from circulation. The Rudolf u. Fritz Rudinger imprint confirms local production; this was not a note sent to Vienna or abroad for printing but run off by a town printer who almost certainly knew his customers by name.
The "IIb" variant distinction in the Jaksc catalogue typically reflects a paper or color difference within the same denomination run — worth noting for collectors working this series closely.
