| Obverse description | The left half of the note is occupied by a detailed landscape vignette in dark violet ink, presenting a panoramic view of Ybbsitz with a church steeple, industrial chimneys emitting smoke, and rolling hills in the background. To the right, a smaller vignette within a decorative cartouche portrays a craftsman at work at a forge or workbench, referencing the town's ironworking heritage. The denomination '20' is rendered in large ornate script at upper right, flanked by the inscription 'Heller' on both sides, with 'Marktgemeinde Ybbsitz' in bold calligraphic lettering below; the entire composition is enclosed within an elaborate scrollwork border. |

| Reverse description | The reverse is set within a fine scrollwork border and centres on the heraldic coat of arms of the Ybbsitz ironworkers' guild (Zeugschmiede), rendered as a shield supported by two rampant lions on pedestals, surmounted by a crowned double-headed eagle; a serial number appears at the base of the escutcheon. To the left, a text block in Gothic script states the redemption obligation of the Marktgemeinde Ybbsitz in legal tender until 1 July 1921, dated 'Ybbsitz, 1. Mai 1920', with a manuscript signature below. To the right, a verse in Gothic script attests to the purchasing power of Ybbsitz ironware, with the caption 'Wappen der Ybbsitzer Zeugschmiede' beneath a decorative flourish. |
