| Obverse description | The central vignette presents a seated bishop in full ecclesiastical vestments, holding a crozier in his left hand and a torch or flaming staff in his right, with a halo rendered above his mitre in fine line work. A decorative ribbon banner below the figure carries the place name ABTENAU in bold Gothic lettering, flanked by two heraldic shields — one bearing a lion rampant and the other crossed keys — with the date 1920 and the inscription '30 mg' integrated into the scroll. The denomination '50 Heller' appears in large numerals at the upper left and upper right corners against a pale yellow guilloche underprint, with the legend 'Gutschein d. Gemeinde' rendered in the banner and the mayor's signature 'der Bürgermeister: Auer' below, with the printer's name HOTTER at the foot. |

| Reverse description | The reverse is dominated by a panoramic vignette of the Abtenau valley set against a dramatic Alpine mountain backdrop, with a church spire and village buildings visible in the middle ground amid trees and meadows, all rendered in fine green line engraving. The denomination '50' appears at lower left and lower right in the border, while two scroll cartouches in the upper corners carry the inscriptions 'Gemeinde 50' at upper left and 'Abtenau Heller' at upper right. A ribbon banner across the lower portion bears the redemption text in German script, stating that the voucher will be redeemed by the Gemeinde Abtenau in legal currency until 31 December 1920. |
