| Obverse description | A woodcut-style letterpress vignette in the lower half presents a panoramic village scene of St. Johann, with a church tower at right, residential buildings at centre, and trees at left. A large central oval cartouche carries the denomination '20' in bold numerals above 'Heller', enclosed by a banner inscribed 'Gutschein der Gemeinde St. Johann' in Gothic script, with the provincial abbreviation 'N.Ö.' (Niederösterreich) at lower right of the cartouche. Decorative scrollwork ornaments occupy the upper corners, framing the composition in a style typical of Austrian Notgeld issues of the early 1920s. |
