Two wreath roundels occupy the upper corners. A ribbon cartouche at the base of the portrait carries a cursive inscription, and a small artist's or printer's mark appears at the lower right.

Comments

Sankt Agatha is a small Upper Austrian municipality, and like hundreds of similar communities, it issued Notgeld during the postwar currency chaos when small-denomination coins had essentially vanished from circulation. The 75 Heller denomination is slightly unusual — most Austrian municipal issues clustered around 10, 20, and 50 Heller — suggesting local issuers were calibrating denominations to actual transactional needs rather than following any regional template.

The Jaksch reference JPR0877Ib indicates a second variant within the series, implying at least two distinct printings for this municipality.
