| Obverse description | Printed in rose-red on cream paper, the obverse presents a central vignette of the Pucking village church with its prominent steeple, flanked by rural buildings and mature trees rendered in fine line engraving. The foreground is filled with an abundant harvest still-life of vegetables, fruit, and agricultural tools, evoking the commune's agrarian character. Decorative Jugendstil scrollwork frames the composition at all corners, with the denomination '50 Heller' indicated in two ornamental cartouches at upper right and lower left, and the issuer title 'Gemeinde Pucking' set in Gothic lettering across the upper margin. |

| Reverse description | The reverse, also printed in rose-red, is enclosed within an elaborate border of zigzag and foliate ornamental bands with Jugendstil scroll devices at the corners. The entire field is occupied by a billetage text in German blackletter script, opening with a large decorative initial 'D', stating the terms of issue by resolution of 24 May 1920, the total voucher issue of 30,000 Kronen, and the obligation of the municipal treasury to redeem the note in lawful currency until 31 December 1920. An anti-counterfeiting warning and the Mayor's manuscript signature appear at the foot, with the printer's imprint 'Druck v. Langhammer, Linz' in the lower right margin. |
