| Obverse description | The obverse is printed in blue on a cream ground, with a dense guilloche border framing the entire design. At left centre, a large ornate cartouche bears the Chinese characters 貳角 (Two Jiao) as the denomination. To the right, a semicircular architectural vignette presents the Chu Shui Bridge gate with flanking stone pillars set against a wooded background. Two red seal impressions appear below the cartouche, and the serial number is printed in red at upper centre flanking the issuer's name in Chinese characters; the redemption clause 每拾角兌付壹圓國幣 is inscribed in a panel beneath the vignette. |

| Reverse description | The reverse is executed entirely in blue-violet and composed of elaborate guilloche lathe-work throughout. A large numeral 20 occupies the centre within a multi-layered rosette underprint, flanked by secondary numerals 20 at each side and by two large circular guilloche rosettes at the outer edges. The bank name THE CENTRAL BANK OF CHINA arcs across the top in a curved ribbon panel, and TWENTY CENTS appears in a cartouche at the lower centre, with two facsimile signatures below — one for the General Manager and one for the Assistant General Manager — and the printer's imprint at the foot. |
