| Obverse description | Single-colour blue-grey letterpress vignette covering the entire face. A panoramic view of the historic town of Waizenkirchen dated 1626 occupies the upper half, rendered in fine line engraving with church towers, rooftops, hills, and a river in the background. The large denomination numeral '20' is centred in the lower half, flanked on the left by a male figure in traditional peasant costume and on the right by a female figure in folk dress carrying a basket, both set against decorative foliate scrollwork. The denomination 'Heller' appears below the numeral, with 'Waizenkirchen' and 'Gutschein' inscribed in Gothic blackletter script across the top. |

| Reverse description | Single-colour blue-grey letterpress reverse with a four-line verse in Gothic blackletter script across the upper portion, referencing the Peasants' War and the World War as historical context for the emergency currency. To the left, an oval municipal coat of arms of Waizenkirchen — showing a lion rampant and a church tower — is surrounded by a circular legend and the year 1693. The right side carries the redemption text, the issuance date of 21 April 1920, the municipal authority line 'Die Bürgermeisterei:', and a manuscript signature. At the foot, a decorative panel bears the legend 'Zweite Auflage' (Second Edition). |
