| Reverse description | Printed in dark green on plain light green paper, the reverse is divided into two zones: a block of vertical Gothic text on the left occupying approximately two thirds of the surface, and a framed rectangular vignette on the right. The vignette illustrates the Julienturm, a medieval stone tower set on a hillside with a figure in the foreground and coniferous trees, captioned 'JULIENTURM' at the upper edge of the frame. The left text block states the conditions of redemption by the Gemeinde Hinterbrühl until 31 July 1920 and the legal penalties for counterfeiting, concluding with the date 25. April 1920 and the printer attribution 'Webhofer, Mödling'. |

Hinterbrühl is a small village in Lower Austria, south of Vienna, best known as the site of the Seegrotte — a flooded gypsum mine that the Nazis later used for Heinkel He 162 jet fighter production. This 20 Heller Notgeld was issued well before any of that, during the acute coin shortage that followed Austria's defeat in the First World War, when municipalities across the former empire were forced to print their own fractional emergency currency simply to make change.
Webhofer in Mödling was a local print house serving several communities in the Baden district; their output for these small Notgeld runs was functional rather than elaborate. The Jaksc reference number places this firmly within the documented Lower Austrian municipal series.
