| Obverse description | The obverse is printed in brown-grey tones on cream paper, with an ornate Art Nouveau foliate border framing the entire face. A central vignette rendered in fine line engraving presents a view of a historic St. Pölten industrial or civic structure — a tall round tower with an adjoining wooden scaffold or water wheel — set against a townscape with church steeples and chimneys. The denomination numeral '50' appears in circular cartouches at upper left and right, above the heading 'Kassenschein der' and below the date cartouche 'anno 1920', with the issuing authority 'Stadtgemeinde St. Pölten über 50 Heller' inscribed at the foot. |

| Reverse description | The reverse is printed in violet on cream paper within a fine decorative border of interlaced ornamental motifs. The municipal coat of arms of St. Pölten, surmounted by a scrolled mantle, is positioned at the top centre. A faint oval underprint carries a ghost text watermark-style overprint reading 'Gemeinde' in the field behind the main text block, which sets out the redemption obligation of the Stadtgemeinde St. Pölten in Gothic Fraktur script, including the validity period from 1 to 31 December 1920, the issue date 'St. Pölten, 30. Juni 1920', and three facsimile signature lines for the Bürgermeister, the Vice-Bürgermeister, and the Gemeinderat, followed by the anti-counterfeiting notice. |
