Obverse description Printed in blue on cream paper, the obverse is dominated by a central vignette set within an elaborate rococo cartouche of acanthus scrollwork, presenting a view of the Wilhering Abbey buildings with a gated approach and wooded surroundings. To the left, the municipal monogram 'W' surmounted by a cross appears within an ornamental shield. The denomination '25' is repeated at lower right within the cartouche border, and the artist's signature 'P. Adalberg Marschaller' is inscribed at the lower right margin.
