The vignette illustrates a procession of figures in traditional Austrian regional dress walking along a country path toward the Augustinian collegiate church of Spital am Pyhrn, set against an alpine landscape of craggy limestone cliffs and billowing clouds. A caption panel at the foot of the vignette bears the inscription 'KIRCHGANG·SPITAL·AM·PYHRN'. |

| Comments |
Spital am Pyhrn is a small alpine market commune in Upper Austria, and its wartime emergency currency — Kriegsgeldscheine — was issued like hundreds of similar Austrian Ortsgemeinde notes when small coinage disappeared almost entirely from circulation during World War I. The 60 Heller denomination is among the less common subdivisions in the Spital series; most communes defaulted to rounder values.
The Jaksch reference places this within the broader Austrian notgeld corpus documented by Franz Jaksch, whose regional cataloguing remains the standard authority for Upper Austrian issues.
