| Obverse description | The left panel carries the denomination value '20' in a decorative guilloche cartouche, with Gothic blackletter text reading 'Gutschein der Gemeinde über 20 Heller' and the issuing locality 'Wörschach Schwefelbad' below. A four-line verse in German script occupies the lower left, followed by the initials 'S.A.' The right panel presents a detailed line-engraved vignette of Schloss Wolkenstein perched dramatically on a rocky hillside, with a heraldic shield at its base and the caption 'SCHLOSS WOLKENSTEIN 1681' in a ruled frame below. |
