| Obverse description | The obverse is printed in brown on cream paper and centers on a letterpress vignette of the parish church of Asten set within a landscaped scene, framed by an arch of diagonal guilloche netting. Flanking the central vignette are two vertical decorative borders incorporating stylized human figures entwined with foliage. Denomination numerals '20' appear in circular cartouches at the lower left and right corners, with the issuer name 'Gemeinde Asten' in bold lettering along the lower margin and the printer's imprint 'J. E. Kleinert, Ottensheim' beneath it. A two-line poetic inscription in German script occupies the upper register within a rectangular panel. |

| Reverse description | The reverse is printed in brown on cream paper and carries the full legal text of the Notgeld issue within a plain typeset layout, bordered by vertical ornamental pilaster strips at left and right. The denomination '20 HELLER' is set in large capitals across the top, with the numeral '20' repeated in square frames at each upper corner. A bold line at the foot of the text panel bears the anti-counterfeiting warning, and the lower margin is filled with a horizontal guilloche band flanked by floral rosette corner blocks. The issuing authority's date and the Bürgermeister's signature appear in the lower body of the text. |
