| Obverse description | Central field displays large Chinese characters reading '貳毫' (2 Jiao) flanked by the character '銀' (silver) to the right, all arranged within a beaded inner circle. The outer annulus bears the Republican-era date legend '中華民國' (Republic of China) across the upper portion, with the year of issue in Chinese numerals at the upper left and the mint attribution '廣西省造' (Made in Kwangsi Province) distributed around the lower periphery. Small floral or rosette ornaments appear at intervals between the inscriptions. The overall design is text-based with no figurative motif, executed in a bold, deeply incused Chinese script typical of provincial Republican issues. |

| Obverse lettering | 年三十國民華中 貳 幣銀 毫 造省西廣 (Translation: Year 13 of the Republic of China 2 Jiao / Silver coin Made in Kwangsi Province) |
| Reverse description | Central field features the large, boldly raised numeral '20' occupying most of the inner circle, which is defined by a beaded border. The outer legend reads 'KWANG-SI PROVINCE' along the upper arc and 'TWENTY CENTS' along the lower arc, both in capital Latin letters separated by small rosette ornaments at the sides. A secondary beaded circle frames the numeral from the surrounding legend, creating a clean, uncluttered design consistent with Republican-era provincial coinage intended for easy denomination recognition. |
