| Obverse description | Plain cream paper Notgeld note with a bold black letterpress-printed decorative border composed of repeating Art Nouveau-style cartouches with floral and geometric motifs at the corners and along the sides. The central text field carries the denomination and issuer legend in graduated typefaces, with the redemption date and the Ortsvorsteher's name printed in the lower portion. No pictorial vignette is present; the design relies entirely on typography and the ornamental frame. |

Rindlberg is a small locality in Upper Austria, and its 1920 Heller note belongs to the vast wave of Notgeld issued by Austrian municipalities after the First World War left the national currency system in chaos. The central authorities could not supply enough small change to keep local commerce functioning, so thousands of villages — many with populations of a few hundred — took matters into their own hands. Rindlberg was among the smallest issuers in the entire corpus.
Franz Wagner's signature as issuing authority is the only individual identity anchoring this note to its moment.
