| Reverse description | Cream-toned note printed in brown and red. A central circular vignette contains a detailed view of Rattenberg Castle ruin set against a rocky cliff, framed by a rope-style border with red-and-white ribbon ornaments. The denomination '30 Heller' appears in large red Gothic numerals and text at upper left and upper right, flanking the central vignette. A horizontal band of stylised Tyrolean eagle underprint in red runs across the centre, and the legend 'Stadt Rattenberg in Tirol' is set in bold Gothic script along the lower margin. The printer's imprint 'Wagner, Innsbruck.' appears in small text at lower left. |

| Comments |
Rattenberg, on the Inn River in Tyrol, is one of the smallest towns in Austria — historically a silver-mining hub whose economic importance had long since collapsed by the time this note was issued. The 30 Heller denomination belongs to the Notgeld wave that swept Austrian municipalities in 1920 as postwar currency shortages forced even tiny townships to print their own emergency small change. Wagner of Innsbruck was the standard regional printer for Tyrolean Notgeld of this period, handling dozens of similar commissions across the province.
Rattenberg's series is noted among collectors for its locally specific imagery tied to the town's medieval mining past.
