| Beschrijving keerzijde | Printed in red on cream paper with a large lightly-impressed underprint of the numeral 50 occupying the full field as a pale watermark-style background element, overlaid by a rosette guilloche ornament at centre. The text panel carries the full legal text of the voucher in German blackletter script, stating the note is non-interest-bearing, accepted by the Gemeinde Gaming until 31 December 1920 and redeemable in legal tender during 1–31 December 1920, followed by a counterfeiting warning. Three manuscript signatures appear below, identified by the printed captions Der Bürgermeister (centre), I. Vizebürgermeister (lower left) and II. Vizebürgermeister (lower right). |

| Opmerkingen |
Austrian Notgeld at its most local. Gaming is a small market town in Lower Austria, and like hundreds of similar municipalities, it issued emergency small-change notes during the prolonged coin shortage that followed the First World War. The 50 Heller denomination sat at the practical mid-point of daily retail transactions — exactly where metallic coinage had disappeared and where paper substitutes were most needed.
The JPR reference places this within the Jaksch catalog of Lower Austrian municipal issues, a classification system that reflects just how atomized Austrian Notgeld production actually was — each issuing body acting independently, with no central design mandate.
