| Reverse description | The reverse is printed in dark olive-brown on a cream ground and centres on a shaped cartouche vignette enclosing a detailed line-art view of the Bad Hall Kurhaus, a neoclassical spa building flanked by mature trees and an ornamental garden. The denomination 80 HELLER appears in bold numerals at each upper corner. A decorative Art Nouveau border with scrollwork and wheel ornaments frames the lower edge of the cartouche, with the inscription KURHAUS set within the lower panel and the letters M and B at the bottom corners. |

Bad Hall, a small spa town in Upper Austria, was one of hundreds of Austrian municipalities forced to print their own emergency currency — Notgeld — after the collapse of the Habsburg monetary system left a catastrophic shortage of small-denomination coins in circulation. The 80 Heller value is an odd one; most Notgeld issues clustered around 10, 20, and 50 Heller, making this denomination worth noting as a local administrative choice rather than a standardized response.
The Jaksch/Pick reference IIa designation indicates a specific variant within the series — likely a paper or color distinction from at least one other known type.
