Obverse description Green letterpress note on pink paper stock, with a central vignette of a rustic arched gateway set within a landscaped garden, a large tree canopy arching over the scene. The inscription 'Gutschein' appears at upper left and 'Gemeinde' at upper right in decorative Gothic script, with 'Buch' in large blackletter type below the central vignette. Flanking vertical panels at left and right each carry the denomination numeral '20' within a plain oval reserve over the word 'Heller', set against a background of stylised wheat sheaves and foliate ornaments. Printer's imprint 'Druck W. Trendlen, Hainfeld' is present at lower left, with a designer's signature at lower right.
