| Beschrijving voorzijde | Single-colour letterpress note printed in violet-grey on cream paper, framed by an elaborate foliate and scroll border. A circular guilloché medallion in the upper left carries the numeral '50', while to the right a fine pen-and-ink vignette presents a view of the Altenfelden parish church with its distinctive onion-domed tower set among trees. The denomination and issuer are rendered in bold Fraktur script across the centre field. |

| Beschrijving keerzijde | Single-colour letterpress reverse printed in dark grey-blue, dominated by a large arched vignette in which three figures — an elderly man and two younger workers, one carrying a scythe — clasp hands in a rural landscape with a farmstead at left and rolling hills at right; a scroll cartouche lower left bears the place name 'Arnreit'. Below the vignette, a legal text block on a ribbon banner states the municipality's redemption obligation dated 24 April 1920, followed by a manuscript signature of the mayor. Denomination numerals '50' appear in circular cartouches at upper left and upper right corners. |

Altenfelden is a small market town in Upper Austria, and this 50 Heller note is one of the thousands of Notgeld issues that flooded Austria between 1919 and 1921 when small coinage effectively vanished from circulation — hoarded, melted, or simply never reminted after the war. Municipal and private issuers filled the gap themselves, often with striking local designs. Most Austrian Heller Notgeld was printed by commercial firms in Linz or Vienna; an in-house Altenfelden production is less common.
Luise Berschmidt's credit as designer is notable — women designers were rarely acknowledged by name in these issues.
