| Obverse description | The obverse bears a central field dominated by four large Chinese ideograms arranged vertically and read top to bottom, right to left, denoting the denomination and coin type. These central characters are surrounded by a circular arrangement of additional Chinese inscriptions identifying the issuing province (Kwangsi) and the Republican year of issue. The legends are rendered in a clear, upright style typical of early Republic of China provincial coinage, separated by a beaded inner border from the outer legend ring. |

| Reverse description | The reverse features a bold, large numeral '20' prominently displayed in the central field, enclosed within a beaded inner circle. Surrounding this inner circle, the Latin legend 'KWANG SEA PROVINCE' arcs across the upper portion, while 'TWENTY CENTS' arcs along the lower portion, flanked on each side by a small rosette ornament. The overall design is clean and unadorned, consistent with the utilitarian style of early twentieth-century Chinese provincial silver coinage. |
