| Beschrijving voorzijde | Printed in violet-purple on plain paper, the obverse is divided into a narrow left panel and a wider right field. The left panel bears the numeral '20' at top within a ruled box, below which a vignette of the Mariazell Basilica's crowned Madonna statue appears, with the validity inscription 'Gültig bis 31. September 1920' running vertically alongside. The main field carries the issuer's name in Gothic script at top, followed by the denomination 'Zwanzig Heller' in large ornamental lettering, a liability clause in German text, three facsimile signatures with their respective titles, and a panoramic townscape vignette of Mariazell at the lower portion. |

| Beschrijving keerzijde | Printed in grey-green on plain paper, the reverse is framed by a decorative border of scrollwork corner ornaments and a repeating foliate pattern. The central vignette presents a wintry Alpine landscape with two figures carrying skis in the foreground and the snow-covered rooftops and church steeple of Mariazell visible in the middle distance against a mountainous backdrop. The denomination numeral '20' appears at the lower left and lower right within the border, and a two-line text block at the bottom states the total issue amount and redemption terms. |

Mariazell's 20 Heller notgeld from 1920 belongs to the vast wave of small-denomination emergency money issued by Austrian municipalities following the collapse of the Habsburg monarchy. The central government's inability to supply adequate coinage in the immediate postwar years forced thousands of towns and market communes to print their own fractional currency — legally permitted under a series of stopgap regulations that were themselves frequently revised.
Mariazell, as a major Catholic pilgrimage destination in Styria, drew seasonal traffic that made a reliable supply of small change genuinely necessary rather than merely administrative.
