| Obverse description | At left, a woodcut-style vignette renders the hilltop church and village of St. Thomas am Blasenstein set against a cloudy sky, all contained within an Art Nouveau border of bold scrollwork and bead ornament. The large stylised numeral '20' occupies the upper right corner, while a ruled decorative cartouche to the right of the vignette carries the issuer inscription and validity date in letterpress. The overall layout is typical of Austrian Notgeld of the early 1920s, balancing pictorial and textual elements within a compact, unified design. |

| Reverse description | At left, a woodcut-style vignette portrays the Blasenstein rock formation with birds in flight above it, set within the same Art Nouveau border as the obverse. The large stylised numeral '20' appears at upper right, and a text cartouche to its left bears the redemption undertaking signed by the mayor, with the printer's imprint 'E. Prietzel, Steyr' in small type at the lower right margin outside the border. A three-line German verse referencing the Blasenstein landmark is set in a plain panel below the vignette. |
