| Obverse description | Black intaglio on white cotton paper. The central vignette presents a seated male figure resting against a harvested sheaf of grain, with agricultural implements in the background, set within an ornate lathe-work frame. The bank title EL BANCO DEL VALLE DE CHICAMA arches across the upper margin in bold letterpress, the denomination VEINTE CENTAVOS DE SOL appears in large letters below the vignette, guilloche rosettes at the upper corners each carry the fractional value 1/5 SOL, and the American Bank Note Co. New York imprint runs along the lower border. |

| Reverse description | Printed in brown on white paper, the reverse is dominated by three large interlocking guilloche medallions arranged symmetrically in a horizontal band, each bearing the fractional denomination 1/5 SOL at its centre. The design relies entirely on fine lathe-work geometric patterns without pictorial vignettes, with FUNDADO arching across the upper portion and EN 1873. along the lower border, recording the bank's founding year. |
