Obverse description Printed in violet on cream paper, the note presents two arched vignettes flanking a central text panel: the left vignette shows a view of the Klosterkirche (monastery church) tower, while the right vignette presents a frontal view of the same church complex with its domed cupola. The central panel carries the denomination in Gothic script with the numeral 30, validity date, and three manuscript signatures below the issuing authority inscription. Decorative foliate borders and scrollwork frame the entire composition.

Comments
The user wants a catalog entry for a 30 Heller note from Baumgartenberg, issued by the municipality in 1920. Let me think about what I know about this. Baumgartenberg is a small municipality in Upper Austria (Oberösterreich). The 30 Heller note from 1920 would be a Notgeld (emergency money) issued during the post-WWI period in Austria when there was a severe shortage of small change. Many Austrian municipalities issued their own Notgeld during this period (roughly 1914-1922). The printer listed is "Druck Nieplsneis" - I'm not entirely certain about this printer. Let me think... there were many small local printers involved in Notgeld production in Austria. I should be careful not to invent details about this printer. The print run data is confusing: "Printed: 20,000 (1885) + 20,000 (1886)" - this seems to be catalog numbers or series numbers, not years. In Notgeld catalogs, particularly the Richter catalog for Austrian Notgeld, items are listed with catalog numbers. Or perhaps these numbers refer to serial number ranges? Actually, looking at this more carefully, these might be the catalog reference numbers from a Notgeld catalog (like the Grabowski/Richter catalog), or they could be print quantities for two different print runs. But the years 1885 and 1886 seem anachronistic for a 1920 note. These
