| Obverse description | Salmon-toned note with a decorative scroll-and-volute border in dark brown. Two circular vignettes are set side by side at centre: the left depicts a rural farmstead with a steeply pitched roof, the right shows a rural chapel or wayside shrine amid a landscape. The large numeral '20' appears between the vignettes, with the denomination 'Heller' in ornate script below and the issuer name 'Manning' in bold Gothic lettering beneath. |

| Reverse description | Plain cream-toned note with a lightly printed decorative border. The reverse carries the full legal text of the emergency currency issue in typeset German, citing the municipal council resolution of 22 May 1920, and attesting the municipality's full financial liability for redemption. At the lower portion, two signature blocks identify the Vizebürgermeister on the left and the Bürgermeister on the right, each with printed name. |

Manning is a small municipality in Upper Austria, and this 20 Heller note is one of thousands of Notgeld issues that flooded rural Austria between 1919 and 1921 — a direct consequence of the coin shortages that followed the collapse of the Habsburg currency system. Villages issued their own emergency fractions simply because there was nothing smaller in circulation to make change with.
The JPR0578b designation places this within Jaksch's regional classification for the Hausruck district. Two signatories — the Bürgermeister and his deputy — authenticate this particular variant, which is the more common of the Manning 20 Heller types.
