| Beschrijving voorzijde | Dark blue letterpress Notgeld vignette on cream paper, divided into two pictorial panels within a decorative border of fine geometric ornament. The left panel carries a vignette of a male peasant sowing seed by hand in an open field, while the right panel shows a harvesting scene with a figure reaping grain beside a sheaf and farm implements. The denomination '20' appears in circular cartouches at upper left and right, with the value inscription 'ZWANZIG HELLER' set within a pointed oval frame at the top centre. A biblical motto runs along the lower margin, signed with the monogram 'LH'. |

| Opmerkingen |
Engerwitzdorf is a small municipality northeast of Linz, and like hundreds of Austrian communes in 1920, it issued its own Notgeld to address the acute small-change shortage that followed the collapse of the Habsburg economy. The 20 Heller denomination was among the most commonly needed for everyday transactions — tram fares, bread, small market purchases — which explains the relatively high print run for a village issuer.
A print figure of over twelve million for a single commune is striking and almost certainly reflects regional distribution beyond Engerwitzdorf proper, a common arrangement among Upper Austrian municipalities that pooled printing orders.
