| Beschrijving voorzijde | Printed in blue on cream paper, the note centres on an oval vignette of a farmer ploughing a field with a horse-drawn plough under a clouded sky, signed by the artist K. Roithinger at lower left of the vignette. The denomination numeral '20' appears in large letterpress figures to each side of the oval, flanked by decorative fruit-and-foliage corner panels, with 'Zwanzig' inscribed in a panel at the top and 'Heller' in a panel at the bottom. The issuer name 'Gemeinde Pitzenberg' is set in bold Gothic lettering across the foot of the note, framed by a dashed outer border. |

| Opmerkingen |
Pitzenberg is a village of a few hundred souls in Upper Austria, and the decision to issue municipal emergency money in 1920 places this squarely within the Austrian Notgeld wave that followed the collapse of the Habsburg economy. Small communes across the region were forced to produce their own fractional currency because coin had effectively vanished from circulation — hoarded, melted, or simply no longer minted in useful denominations.
The Preßvereins-Druckerei in Wels handled a substantial number of these Upper Austrian municipal issues, which means production quality is generally competent but unremarkable. Roithinger's design credit is the one distinguishing detail here.
