| Reverse description | The reverse is printed in black on plain paper within a decorative typographic border of alternating thick and thin rules. The central design is occupied by a circular seal of Eggenburg showing the medieval city gate with towers, surrounded by a Latin legend, captioned below "Stadtwappen aus dem 14. Jahrhundert". Redemption and legal text in Gothic blackletter script is arranged in two columns flanking the seal, with a two-line verse in larger script across the top and an anti-counterfeiting warning at the foot; the printer's imprint appears in small type at the very bottom. |

Eggenburg's 50 Heller Notgeld is among the more locally produced examples of Austria's postwar emergency currency wave — the Pressvereindruckerei was the town's own press cooperative, meaning the municipality essentially printed its own money in-house rather than contracting to Vienna or Graz. That degree of local self-sufficiency was uncommon even among the hundreds of Austrian Gemeinden issuing Notgeld in 1920.
