| Obverse description | Printed in black on magenta-pink paper in a bold Jugendstil letterpress style. A central vignette presents a woodcut-style view of the local parish church and surrounding village buildings, framed by vertical Art Nouveau foliate and rose-bud borders on both sides. The denomination numeral '30' appears within a double-ringed circle at upper right, while the issuer name 'EBEN.OO.' is set in large block letters along the lower panel and 'GUTSCHEIN ÜBER' across the top. |

| Reverse description | Plain magenta-pink paper printed in black letterpress with three lines of justified Gothic-script text conveying the redemption notice, followed by the issuing authority's name. The reverse is entirely typographic with no vignette or ornamental border, giving it a utilitarian character consistent with Austrian Notgeld emergency issues of the period. |

| Comments |
Austrian municipal notgeld from the post-WWI collapse of the krone system. Eben am Achensee is a small Tyrolean village on the southern shore of the Achensee, and like hundreds of similarly small communes in 1920, it issued its own emergency fractional notes when federal coinage effectively vanished from circulation — hoarded, melted, or simply never minted in sufficient volume to meet demand.
Franz Schmiedinger signed as Bürgermeister. The Jaksch/Pick 0141-Va designation places this within the well-documented Austrian notgeld cataloguing framework, the "-Va" suffix indicating a specific paper or print variant within the 30 Heller denomination series for this issuer.
