Obverse description The obverse is printed in black on a light paper with a pale green guilloche underprint. The heading banner reads "Notgeld für die Marktgemeinde Straß" in Gothic script, flanked left and right by large ornate denomination numerals "50 Heller" enclosed in decorative frames. A central vignette presents a pen-and-ink view of the local church tower and surrounding rooftops, beneath which a municipal coat of arms is displayed. The lower portion carries the guarantee text, the issuing date "12 Mai 1920," and two manuscript signatures above the printed titles "Vizebgmstr." and "der Bürgermeister."

Reverse description The reverse is printed in black on plain white paper with a ghost impression of the obverse layout visible as a light underprint. The upper section carries a four-line regional verse in Gothic script extolling the local wine of Straß. Below, a centred block of text in Fraktur declares the note interest-free and redeemable by the Gemeinde Straß in legal tender during December 1920. A anti-counterfeiting warning appears at the foot of the note.
