| Obverse description | Blue-violet ink on cream paper. A central panoramic vignette presents a townscape of Altenberg with a prominent church steeple and village rooftops set against a clouded sky, flanked on each side by a decorative putto: the left figure carries a floral garland, the right bears a sheaf of grain. The denomination numeral "50" appears in all four corners, with the legends "Gutschein der Gemeinde Altenberg" arched across the top and "Fünfzig Heller" in a framed panel at the base; the printer's imprint "L. Haase, Linz" appears in the lower margin. |

| Reverse description | Cream ground with blue-violet letterpress printing. A stylized Art Nouveau floral arch frames two squared denomination panels reading "50" flanking a central cartouche inscribed "HELLER". Below, a three-line authorizing text records the municipal council resolution of 15 May 1920 issuing vouchers to a total value of 30,000 Kronen, redeemable at the municipal cashier; the place and date "Altenberg, am 15. Mai 1920" are followed by the Mayor's manuscript signature above the caption "Der Bürgermeister:". A warning legend at the foot states that counterfeiting is punishable by law. |
