Obverse description The note is laid out in a tripartite design printed in blue and black on cream paper. The central vignette presents a line-engraved view of the Salzburg Glockenspiel tower with adjacent baroque buildings and foreground foliage, framed within a wavy-edged rectangular border. Flanking panels carry the denomination '20 HELLER' within oval cartouches set against a blue chequered guilloche ground, each panel accented with a small floral motif; the designer's name 'KARL SCHONSWETTER' appears in letterpress along the lower margin.

Three manuscript signatures of municipal officials — the Bürgermeister and two Gemeinderäte — are arranged across the lower portion, and the printer's imprint 'Buchdruckerei "Graphia".
