Obverse description Printed in olive-brown letterpress on cream paper, the obverse carries a decorative border of edelweiss and alpine flower motifs along the lower register and vertical side panels, with two small dark-green landscape vignettes of alpine forest and mountain scenes in the upper corners. The central field is dominated by Gothic-script text reading 'Gutschein d. Marktgemeinde Rauris', followed by a block of legal text establishing the voucher's validity from 15 August to 15 November 1920, signed by Bürgermeister Sommerer, with the issuing authority line 'Marktgemeinde-Vorstehung Rauris' above. The denomination '20 HELLER' appears in bold type within framed boxes at the lower left and right, with '2. Auflage' centred at the foot and the printer's imprint 'E. & K. Müller / S. Narholt' below.

Reverse description Printed in dark green on cream paper, the reverse is divided into two equal landscape vignettes set within a single ruled and notched border frame, each rendered in fine engraved line work. The left panel presents a dramatic view of the Kitzlochklamm gorge with sheer rock faces, coniferous trees, and a cascading waterfall, while the right panel offers a panoramic alpine view of the Schareck as seen from the Sonnblick, with snow-covered peaks, glacial slopes, and a cloud-filled sky, signed 'S. Narholt' at lower right. Caption plaques beneath each panel identify the scenes as 'Kitzlochklamm' and 'Schareck vom Sonnblick' respectively.
