| Obverse description | Printed in dark brown on plain paper stock, the obverse carries a central rural vignette composed of two peasant workers flanking a large ornamental urn overflowing with fruit, set against a rolling pastoral landscape with billowing clouds; a horse-drawn cart appears to the left. The denomination numeral '20' appears in decorative cartouches at upper left and right, each accompanied by a ribbon banner inscribed 'Heller', while the issuing authority heading 'Notgeld der Gemeinde' arches across the top in Gothic script above the large locality name 'Eschenau' and the regional abbreviation 'Ob. Öst.' A four-line verse in Austrian dialect runs along the lower margin within a scrollwork border, and the designer's name 'Doblmaier' is inscribed at the lower left corner. |
