| Beschrijving keerzijde | The reverse carries a detailed allegorical vignette occupying the right two-thirds of the note, enclosed in a beaded border matching the obverse. A striding male figure, carrying a bag labelled 'Hart Geld' and passing directional signs towards Switzerland and Holland, symbolises the flight of hard currency during the postwar Notgeld period; in the background, a town silhouette is surrounded by scattered banknotes, beneath the arch inscriptions 'Ursache' and 'd. Folgen' flanked by oak-leaf ornaments with the dates '1914–19' and '1921'. The denomination numeral '30' appears in a circular cartouche at centre right, and the lower arc reads 'Gutshöster im Zeichen der Hartgeldnot / Dreissig Heller'. The left panel contains a stylised diagonal 'Meggenhofen 1920' monogram, the edition text 'Zweite Auflage', and a small vignette of a rural church. |

Meggenhofen is a small municipality in Upper Austria, and this 30 Heller note belongs to the vast wave of Notgeld issued by Austrian towns and villages between 1919 and 1922 to address a severe coin shortage following the collapse of the Austro-Hungarian Empire. The new Republic of Austria had neither the metal nor the mint capacity to supply small change quickly enough, so thousands of local authorities — including communes of a few hundred residents — printed their own.
The 30 Heller denomination is among the more practical values in the series, issued for everyday low-value transactions rather than the purely collectible "Seriennotgeld" produced by larger towns for the philatelic trade.
