| Obverse description | The obverse is printed in dark brown and salmon-pink on cream paper, with a bold chequered border framing the entire note. A central vignette presents a letterpress view of the local parish church with its distinctive onion-domed tower set against trees and outbuildings. The denomination '20' appears in the upper left and right corners within the border, while a diamond-shaped cartouche at the foot of the vignette repeats '20 hl' in large numerals. The heading 'NOTGELD DER GEMEINDE FELDKIRCHEN' is inscribed across the top in a bold hand-drawn lettering style. |

| Comments |
Feldkirchen am Inn is a small parish municipality in Upper Austria, and this 20 Heller notgeld is among the more locally rooted issues of the Austrian emergency currency wave that followed the First World War. The Braunau am Inn printing house of Josef Moser handled a number of small municipal commissions in the Inn valley region, which gives notes from this cluster a certain consistency in production quality despite their village-scale origins.
Franz Kücher's signature as authorizing official anchors the issue firmly to local administration rather than any banking institution.
