Large white numerals '60' in oval cartouches appear at left and right, and the word 'HELLER' is rendered in decorative block lettering along the lower margin. The overall layout is enclosed within an ornamental border of interlaced scrollwork and floral motifs consistent with the Jugendstil aesthetic. |

| Comments |
Pasching is a small municipality in Upper Austria, and this 60 Heller note is a product of the Notgeld wave that swept Austrian communities in the postwar years — a direct consequence of the severe coin shortage that followed the collapse of the Habsburg monetary system in 1918. Local governments, businesses, and even individual estates printed their own emergency small-denomination paper because the new Republic simply could not mint enough coinage fast enough to meet everyday transactional demand.
The Jaksch catalogue reference confirms this as a genuine municipal issue rather than one of the later "collector Notgeld" series printed speculatively for philatelic sale, which flooded the market from 1921 onward and were rarely, if ever, circulated.
