| Obverse description | The obverse is printed in dark ink on cream-toned paper within a decorative border of interlaced vine motifs. The municipality name 'Gemeinde Klaus' is set in large Gothic blackletter script across the upper portion, while the denomination '20 Heller' appears in ornate calligraphic numerals and Gothic lettering at left. A detailed landscape vignette at right illustrates the Steyr river valley with the historic Festung Klaus fortress perched on a rocky outcrop dated 1674, captioned 'Steyr Fluss' and 'Vestung Klaus Ob.Oe 1674'; the printer's credit 'Paul Gerin, Wien, II.' and the artist's name 'Anton Peschke' appear in small type along the lower margin. |

| Reverse description | The reverse is printed in brown ink on cream paper within a scrollwork and floral border. A heraldic shield bearing the Tyrolean eagle is centred at the top within an ornamental cartouche. The central text panel, set in Gothic script, states the legal basis for the issue — a municipal council resolution of 27 March 1920 — and affirms the municipality's liability for redemption, with a warning that counterfeiting is punishable by law. Three facsimile signatures appear below the text, identified by their official titles: Bürgermeister, Kassier, and Bürgermeister-Stellvertreter. |
