| Beschrijving voorzijde | Printed in dark blue on plain paper, the obverse is divided into a central circular vignette and surrounding text panels. The vignette at centre depicts a local castle or manor house with turrets amid foliage, enclosed within a fine rope-style border. Flanking the vignette are decorative guilloche leaf-spray panels, with the denomination '50' in oval cartouches at upper left and right, and 'FÜNFZIG HELLER' repeated on each side. A solid blue panel at the base carries the issuer's name 'Gemeinde-Sigharting' in bold white letterpress, with 'im Innviertl' below in smaller script. |

| Opmerkingen |
Sigharting is a small village in Upper Austria, and like hundreds of similarly modest municipalities, it issued its own emergency small change notes — Notgeld — when the collapse of the Habsburg monetary system left everyday commerce without viable coinage. The 50 Heller denomination was among the most commonly needed for basic transactions, which is partly why so many Austrian Notgeld issues cluster around this value.
The JPR catalogue reference places this squarely within the 1920 wave of locally-printed Austrian municipal Notgeld, issued well after the armistice but during the prolonged coinage shortage that persisted into the early Republic years. Sigharting's issue is not among the celebrated "artistic" Notgeld series that collectors chased during the 1920s Notgeld boom — it was functional small change, printed to be spent and discarded.
