| Obverse description | Light blue-grey Notgeld voucher with a fine lace-style guilloche underprint covering the entire field. The denomination numeral '80' appears in large circular vignettes at upper left and upper right, rendered in white on dark ground with a beaded border. A bold Gothic-script heading reads 'Gutschein der Gemeinde Ebelsberg über Achtzig Heller' in the upper and central portion, with the value words set in an oversized blackletter typeface. Below, a three-line redemption clause in Gothic script is followed at lower right by the title 'Der Bürgermeister' and a manuscript signature, with the anti-counterfeiting warning 'Nachahmung wird bestraft' at lower left. |

| Comments |
Ebelsberg was an independent municipality on the southern edge of Linz until its incorporation into the city in 1938. Like hundreds of Austrian Gemeinden during the acute coin shortage of 1920–1921, it issued its own Notgeld to keep small transactions functioning — the 80 Heller denomination suggesting deliberate calibration against specific local pricing needs rather than a round-number stop-gap.
The Jaksch/Pick reference places this firmly within the documented Austrian municipal emergency money corpus, but Ebelsberg's series is among the smaller and less frequently encountered ones, reflecting the town's modest size at time of issue.
