| Reverse description | The reverse is dominated by a large cartouche in the centre containing a six-line rhyming text in Gothic blackletter script, explaining the issuance of this Notgeld. Below the cartouche, a two-column legal text in smaller Gothic type records the authorising municipal resolution of 23 July 1920 and the redemption terms, with the Bürgermeister's manuscript signature at lower right. Decorative scroll and foliate ornaments in purple and green flank the cartouche at left and right, all contained within a double-rule purple border. |

Sandl is a small market town in the Mühlviertel region of Upper Austria, and like hundreds of Austrian municipalities it resorted to issuing its own emergency small change — Notgeld — in the chaotic years following the collapse of the Habsburg Empire. The 90 Heller denomination is an oddity even within that eccentric genre; most municipal issues clustered around round figures, and values like 90 were far less common than 10, 20, or 50 Heller pieces.
Carl Jensen's Viennese printing house produced Notgeld for numerous Austrian communes during this period, bringing a degree of technical consistency to what was otherwise a fragmented, locally-driven phenomenon. The 1920 date places this note in the second and final wave of Austrian municipal Notgeld, issued after the first wave of 1918–1919 had largely run its course.
