| Obverse description | Orange and black letterpress notgeld note with a vignette of the Krems skyline at top centre, set against a curtain-like guilloche background. Two ornate cartouches at left and right each bear the denomination numeral '40' above the word 'Heller', flanking a central intaglio-style illustration of a seated, contemplative male figure — likely a prisoner of war — enclosed within a scrolled ribbon inscribed with a charitable dedication. The lower panel carries the denomination in Gothic script 'Vierzig Heller', with the dates 'Aug. 1920 Sept.' and the artist's signature 'Tom/Chin' at the foot. |

| Reverse description | Printed in orange and grey on plain paper, the reverse carries a large oval guilloche underprint bearing the Krems city arms, over which the denomination 'Vierzig 40 Heller' is set in bold Gothic type within a ruled panel. A central text block in German Gothic script states the note's charitable purpose and its non-redeemable nature. Below, the issuing designation '"Edna" / Erste d.-ö. Notgeldausstellung / Krems a/D. 1920' is printed in orange, with '3. Auflage.' (third edition) noted at upper left. |
