| Beschrijving voorzijde | Two standing figures flank a central oval vignette of the Laimbach market town church and surrounding buildings, the whole surmounted by an ornate scrollwork border with foliate and wave-pattern underprint in light blue. The denomination '50 Heller' is set in bold Gothic letterpress in a ruled panel across the lower centre, with the numeral '50' repeated at each side. Three handwritten signatures of the issuing officials appear below the redemption text. |

| Opmerkingen |
Laimbach am Ostrong is a small market town in Lower Austria, and like hundreds of similarly sized municipalities, it issued notgeld during the postwar currency chaos of 1920 when small-denomination coins had effectively vanished from circulation. These hyperlocal issues were printed in tiny runs, often by regional printers with no banknote experience, and distributed almost exclusively within the issuing community itself.
Three signatories — two Blauensteiners and a Stenninger — suggest a town council of modest size signing collectively to lend the scrip whatever official weight it could muster. Most Austrian municipal notgeld of this type was redeemed and destroyed within months, making survivors genuinely uncommon despite the low face value.
