A tall conifer branch motif rises centrally between the two scenes, with the large numeral '20' and the word 'heller' superimposed over it. Stylised scrollwork bearing the denomination '20' appears in each upper corner, and the lower portion carries the inscription 'Notgeld. Gemeinde Pennewang' in Gothic lettering divided across the two panels. |
