| Obverse description | The obverse is set within a decorative border with a zigzag outer frame and repeating ornamental inner band. A central vignette presents a woodcut-style panoramic view of Bischofstetten with its church tower and village buildings amid trees and foliage, flanked on either side by rustic figures in a folk-art style. The denomination '20' in red numerals appears centrally below the vignette between the word 'HELLER' repeated on both sides in dark letterpress, with the title 'Kassenschein der Gemeinde Bischofstetten' in bold above, and several lines of German text below including the mayor's signature facsimile 'Riesinger'. |

| Reverse description | The reverse is enclosed within a multi-line rectangular border with decorative corner ornaments and lateral panels bearing the red numeral '20' in scalloped cartouches. A large central circular medallion, surrounded by elaborate scrollwork and Art Nouveau-style foliate ornament, contains a vignette of wheat sheaves rising from a mound with radiating lines, encircled by the motto 'DURCH ARBEIT ZUM SEGEN'. A narrow vertical panel on the left carries an anti-counterfeiting warning in German, while the right panel states the validity date. |
