The heading reads 'Kassenschein der Gemeinde Bischofstetten' beneath the motto 'Not bricht Eisen!' repeated twice, with the denomination '50' in red numerals set between the words 'HELLER' in a panel overlaying the vignette. Below the central design, a four-line legal text states the terms of issue, the redemption date of 30 September 1920, and bears the printed signature of the Bürgermeister, Riesinger. |
