| Obverse description | The obverse is executed in an Art Nouveau (Jugendstil) woodcut-style vignette, centred on a view of the Donauwarte observation tower amid trees and a garden path, with the legend 'Donauwarte' inscribed below the scene. Flanking decorative columns with stylised foliage frame the central image, with a chalice motif to the lower left and a bunch of grapes to the lower right. The denomination '20 Heller' appears in large script at the bottom, with the municipality guarantee text in a gothic blackletter band across the middle and three facsimile signatures of local officials below, with the artist's name 'ROHRHOFER' at the lower left margin. |

| Reverse description | The reverse is printed in dark blue-black gothic blackletter script on plain cream paper, without any vignette or decorative border. The text sets out the conditions of issue, stating that the Dorfgemeinde Egelsee issues vouchers to a total value of 25,000 Kronen to alleviate the small-change shortage, valid until 31 December 1920 and redeemable by the municipality between 15 and 31 December of that year. A warning against counterfeiting is included, followed by the printer's imprint at the foot. |
