Obverse description Issued on cream-toned paper with a fine wavy-line guilloche underprint across the entire field. To the left, a detailed intaglio vignette renders the Langenlois town square with its Renaissance-style Rathaus facade and a baroque fountain in the foreground. To the right, the denomination numeral '20' is set within an oval guilloche rosette. The date 'Langenlois, 22. Februar 1920' and a liability clause appear in the lower portion, beneath which three manuscript facsimile signatures are printed for the Vize-Bürgermeister, Bürgermeister, and geschäftsführende Gemeinderat.

Reverse description Plain cream-toned paper without decorative underprint. The upper portion carries a four-line verse in Gothic blackletter script dated 1548, a regional dialect rhyme of historical character. Below, a prominent centred text block in Gothic type states the redemption conditions, specifying that the note is non-interest-bearing and redeemable in legal tender by the Gemeinde Langenlois during December 1920. A final line warns that counterfeiting is punishable by law.
