| Obverse description | Printed in red-brown on a light green guilloche underprint, the obverse carries the issuer's name in Gothic blackletter script at the top, flanked by two hexagonal denomination panels each bearing '50 Heller'. A central vignette enclosed within a laurel wreath shows a detailed townscape view of Maissau with its prominent church tower and manor buildings. Below the vignette, a validity statement reads 'Giltig bis 31. März 1921', and the denomination 'Fünfzig Heller' appears in an ornate cartouche at the foot. A counterfoil stub at right bears the municipal coat of arms, a '50' rosette, and an ink stamp with the issuance date 'im Juni 1920'. |

| Reverse description | Printed in black on plain cream paper, the reverse is divided into two sections. The left column carries the denomination text in Gothic script: 'Kassenschein über 50 Heller der Stadtgemeinde Maissau Niederösterreich.' The main field to the right is enclosed within a decorative chain-link border and contains a four-line verse in German attributed to Josef Schmid, followed by a legal guarantee clause stating that the municipality issues these notes to alleviate the small-change shortage and pledges its assets as surety. At the foot of the bordered panel, the facsimile signatures of the Bürgermeister, Vizebürgermeister, and First Gemeinderat are printed. |
