A large central circular vignette contains the bold numeral '30' over the inscription 'HELLER', flanked by decorative cornucopia-style ornaments. The denomination '30' appears in circular cartouches at upper left and right, with the words 'DREISSIG' and 'HELLER' in large bold letterpress type spanning the lower central area. Below, a two-paragraph legal text in German italic script states the municipality's redemption obligation dated 14 March 1920, followed by an anti-counterfeiting warning and the manuscript signature of the Bürgermeister. |

| Comments |
Parz is a tiny village in Upper Austria — today part of the municipality of Grieskirchen — and this 30 Heller note is a product of the Notgeld wave that swept through Austria between 1919 and 1921. With the postwar collapse of the Habsburg monetary system and a severe coin shortage, hundreds of Austrian municipalities printed their own emergency small change, often in denominations too trivial for any central authority to bother producing. The JPR0721b designation in the Jaksch catalogue distinguishes this from the related 'a' variant, likely a color or printing difference.
