| Obverse description | Printed in dark brown on buff paper, the note is framed by an ornate border of oak leaves and branches. To the left, a vignette of a medieval armoured knight stands in full regalia bearing a shield and lance, while to the right a detailed letterpress vignette of the local church tower and adjoining buildings is rendered in the same tone. The denomination numeral '50' appears in bold Gothic script within square cartouches at each upper corner, with the issuing authority text and validity notice in blackletter script occupying the central field, beneath which three facsimile signatures appear over their respective official titles. |

Wiener Neudorf's 50 Heller Notgeld of 1920 belongs to the vast wave of municipal emergency currency that flooded Austria after the collapse of the Habsburg monetary system left small communities without adequate coin for everyday transactions. The town issued these notes under its own authority as Marktgemeinde — a market town designation carrying specific administrative rights — with three signatories required for validation: the Bürgermeister, Vizebürgermeister, and Kämmerer, an unusually full complement of civic officers for a note of this denomination.
The JPR1229b suffix indicates a variant within the series, likely a color or paper distinction from the 1229a type.
