Obverse description Blue letterpress vignette on cream paper, centered on a panoramic landscape view of the ruins of Prandegg castle perched on a rocky ridge amid fir trees, identified by the inscription 'Ruine Prandegg' above. To the left, a full-length figure of a medieval knight in armour stands at attention bearing a lance. A decorative ribbon banner at the top carries the municipality name 'Gemeinde Schönau i.M.', while the denomination '20 Zwanzig Heller' is presented on a scrollwork cartouche along the lower centre, all within an ornate foliate border.

Reverse description Blue letterpress text on cream paper, the upper portion bearing a four-line verse in Gothic script within a ribbon cartouche flanked by oak branches: 'Wer hätte jemals dies gedacht / Dass man in Schönau jetzt Notgeld macht / Drum steht Schönau auch nicht alleine / Beim Machen seiner Notgeldscheine.' Below, the main legal text in Gothic script states the municipality's authority and liability for the voucher under a council resolution of 6 June 1920 for a total amount of 50,000 Kronen, redeemable at the municipal treasury (Gemeindekasse) in legal tender until 31 December 1920, signed by the Bürgermeister. A anti-counterfeiting warning appears along the lower border.
