| Beschrijving voorzijde | The obverse is printed in black and red on a light tan guilloche underprint incorporating repeated numeral '50' and star motifs. The denomination 'Fünfzig Heller' is inscribed in large red Gothic script across the upper central field, below the issuing authority legend in a decorative bordered header. A central vignette occupies the lower half, presenting an elaborate heraldic composition of crossed swords, a crowned shield, and foliate scrollwork rendered in fine letterpress. Denomination numerals '50' appear in large format at the lower left and right corners, with facsimile signatures of the Vizebürgermeister (left) and Bürgermeister with Gemeindekassier (right) flanking the vignette. |

| Opmerkingen |
One of thousands of Austrian Notgeld issues that flooded the country between 1919 and 1921, when the collapse of the Habsburg monetary system left municipal governments scrambling to produce small-denomination emergency currency. The chronic shortage of coins — particularly in the 10 to 50 Heller range — forced communes as small as Steinbach an der Steyr to commission their own scrip, often from local printers with no specialized banknote experience.
Emil Pietzel was a Steyr-based printer, not a security firm. Three signatures were required for authorization: the Bürgermeister, the Vizebürgermeister, and the municipal cashier — a formality that did little to deter counterfeiting but satisfied local administrative requirements.
