| Obverse description | Brown letterpress Notgeld note with an Art Nouveau-style border framing a panoramic vignette of the Gosau valley, with the rugged Dachstein massif rising in the background above a pastoral Alpine village scene. The legend NOTGELD is inscribed at the top centre within the decorative frame. A lower panel carries the denomination numerals 20 at left and right, flanked by the text HELLER, with GEMEINDE GOSAU in bold lettering at centre. |

| Reverse description | Plain cream paper reverse printed entirely in brown letterpress, carrying a four-line dialectal Austrian verse at the top, followed by a small ornamental divider. Below, a formal German-language text block states the legal basis for issuance — a municipal council resolution of 8 May 1920 authorising emergency vouchers up to 50,000 Kronen — and warns against counterfeiting. The issuing authority is identified at the foot by the signature line of the mayor. |
