| Beschrijving voorzijde | A photographic vignette occupies the upper portion of the note, presenting a panoramic landscape view of the village of Eschenau set against a backdrop of rolling hills, with scattered buildings and a church visible among trees. Below the vignette, the issuer name 'Gemeinde Eschenau' and the denomination '50 HELLER' are printed in large green letterpress type, flanked by decorative Art Nouveau scroll ornaments. To the right, three manuscript signatures appear above printed labels identifying the Bürgermeister, Vizebürgermeister, and Gemeinderat, with a border of repeating arrow motifs framing the lower edge. |

Eschenau is a small village in the Pielach valley, and like hundreds of Austrian municipalities during the postwar currency chaos of 1920, it issued its own Notgeld rather than wait for an adequate supply of small change from Vienna. These hyperlocal notes were a practical fix — the central government simply could not produce and distribute low-denomination coins fast enough to meet everyday commerce.
The Jaksch/Pick reference JPR0186a places this among the catalogued Lower Austrian municipal issues, though survival rates for village-level Heller notes vary considerably. Many were redeemed quickly and pulped.
