| Obverse description | The obverse is divided into three vertical panels with a dark red and beige colour scheme. The left and right panels each bear the denomination '50 Heller' in bold Gothic script, flanking a central vignette with a line-drawn view of the parish church of Weissenkirchen in der Wachau with surrounding buildings. Below the central vignette, the left panel contains the municipal liability text in Gothic script, while the right panel carries the place name, date of issue (15. April 1920), and three facsimile signatures of the Bürgermeister, Vizebürgermeister, and Gemeinderat. The heading 'Kassenschein der Marktgemeinde' runs across the top in decorative Gothic lettering, with 'Weissenkirchen in der Wachau' inscribed in large Gothic script along the bottom margin. |
