| Reverse description | The reverse, likewise printed in violet-brown letterpress on plain cream paper, presents a fully justified German text block headed 'Kassenschein der Stadtgemeinde Tulln über Fünfzig Heller.' The body text explains the note's purpose in alleviating the small-change shortage, states the total issue of 100,000 Kronen, confirms the notes are interest-free, accepted in municipal payments until 30 September 1920, and redeemable in lawful currency between 1 and 30 September 1920, closing with the statutory anti-counterfeiting warning. |

| Comments |
Austrian municipal notgeld of this period was produced in enormous variety, but the Tulln issues occupy a modest footnote in that story. After the collapse of the Habsburg monetary system following World War I, small-denomination coins vanished from circulation almost entirely — hoarded, melted, or simply gone — forcing hundreds of Austrian municipalities to print their own emergency fractional currency. Tulln's 50 Heller falls squarely in that wave of 1920 municipal issues.
The JPR1083 series from Tulln is among the less-documented Niederösterreich municipal issues, and surviving specimens tend to surface in collector lots rather than individually catalogued holdings.
