| Obverse description | The obverse carries the full institutional title "La Compañia de Obras Públicas y Fomento del Perú" in bold curved lettering across the upper portion, flanking a dark oval vignette at right bearing the numeral "20". To the left, an allegorical female figure is seated in a classical pose, rendered in intaglio engraving, with the serial number appearing both below the vignette and at the right margin. The central text reads "Veinte Soles / EN MONEDA CORRIENTE" with the date "Lima, Julio 4 de 1876" and two manuscript signatures of the Director and Presidente below. |

| Reverse description | The reverse is printed on plain paper with a faint central oval guilloche underprint, largely unadorned and devoid of additional vignettes or inscriptions, consistent with the austere private-company note issues of the period. |
