| Obverse description | Olive-green Notgeld note with the denomination numeral 50 printed in large bold characters at both left and right margins. The central vignette presents a finely engraved Alpine panorama of the Gosau valley, with a mountain lake in the foreground and dramatic rocky peaks rising in the background, flanked on either side by stylised Art Nouveau tree-column ornaments. The inscription NOTGELD appears in a banner across the upper centre, with HELLER noted on either side, and the issuer legend GEMEINDE GOSAU in bold serif capitals runs along the lower margin. |

| Reverse description | Plain light buff paper reverse printed entirely in olive-green letterpress text. The upper portion carries a four-line verse in the Upper Austrian dialect, followed by a three-dot ornamental separator. Below, a formal German-language declaration states the legal basis of issuance — a municipal council resolution of 8 May 1920 — authorising vouchers up to a total value of 50,000 Kronen, with a caution that counterfeiting will be prosecuted. The note concludes with the mayoral signature line reading Der Bürgermeister: Josef Posch. |
