| Obverse description | The left half of the note is dominated by a vignette of the local Salzkammergut salt warehouse (Salzstadel), a timber-framed structure rendered in fine letterpress, enclosed within a rope-pattern border with the denomination numeral '50' in the upper corners and the word 'Heller' in a cartouche below. To the right, the issuing authority text 'Gutschein der Gemeinde Stadl-Paura.' is set in blackletter Gothic script, followed by the validity notice 'Nachahmung strafbar. Giltig bis 31. Dezember 1920.' and the facsimile signature of the Bürgermeister (mayor). |

Stadl-Paura is a small Upper Austrian market town on the Traun river, and like hundreds of Austrian municipalities it resorted to printing its own Notgeld during the severe coin shortage that followed the First World War. The 50 Heller denomination was among the most practical for everyday transactions — small enough for routine commerce, large enough to justify the printing cost.
Austrian municipal Notgeld of this period was issued under loose provincial oversight, with designs commissioned locally and print runs rarely documented. Survival rates vary wildly by issuer.
