| Beschrijving keerzijde | The reverse is printed in orange-brown on cream paper and carries a central octagonal vignette framed by a ring of Gothic lettering. The vignette depicts a male peasant figure striding through a ploughed agricultural landscape toward a rising sun over distant hills, rendered in an Expressionist woodcut style. The denomination 'Zwanzig / 20 / Heller' is repeated in the left and right lateral panels, which are decorated with geometric guilloche underprint ornaments, and the printer's and designer's credits appear in small text at the foot of the note. |

This is a Notgeld issue — emergency small-change scrip produced by the municipality of Oed during Austria's acute coin shortage of the immediate postwar years. The Austro-Hungarian coinage system had effectively collapsed, and hundreds of small towns and market communes printed their own fractional notes to keep local commerce moving. Oed was one of the smallest communities to do so, and having the work done locally by F. Kielar in nearby Amstetten rather than through one of the larger Viennese printers was typical of the rural Lower Austrian issues.
Three municipal signatures — mayor, vice-mayor, and a council member — were required to validate the note, a formality that underscores how seriously even tiny communes treated the legal weight of their scrip obligations.
