| Obverse description | The upper portion carries a bold Gothic-script heading 'Gutschein' with the denomination '50 Heller' at upper right, below which the issuing authority 'der Stadtgemeinde Eggenburg' and the validity date 'Gültigkeitsdauer bis 31. Dezember 1920' are inscribed in letterpress. A small vignette at upper left shows a Gothic church portal. The lower two-thirds of the note is dominated by a finely detailed etched panoramic view of Eggenburg's townscape with its characteristic church spires and medieval rooflines, printed in black; over this vignette, three manuscript signatures appear in red ink beneath the printed titles of the Vice-Mayor, Mayor, and Municipal Councillor. |

Eggenburg's 50 Heller notgeld was produced by the town's own press cooperative — the Pressevereinsdruckerei — a locally rooted printer rather than one of the Vienna houses that handled most Lower Austrian emergency issues. This kept production entirely within the municipality, which was unusual even for the notgeld wave that swept Austrian towns between 1919 and 1921.
The JPR0162e suffix suggests this is one of several distinct types within the Eggenburg series, indicating the city issued multiple design variants rather than a single uniform release.
