| 背面描述 | A panoramic intaglio-printed vignette of the Cidade de Santo António waterfront occupies the left and centre of the note, with palm trees in the foreground and colonial-era buildings along the shoreline rendered in red and grey-blue tones. A large multicolour numeral "20000" with colour-shifting ink appears at lower right, set against a guilloche underprint with latticework borders on both sides. |

São Tomé and Príncipe has issued its own currency, the dobra, since 1977 following independence from Portugal, but the denomination structure was forced upward repeatedly by inflation — the 20,000 dobra note being a direct consequence of that pressure. A monetary reform in 2010 redenominated the dobra at 1,000:1, replacing it with the second dobra, which effectively rendered this entire series obsolete almost overnight.
Thomas De La Rue's involvement here is unremarkable for the region; they printed the majority of Lusophone African issues through this period. The long production window — nearly two decades on a single design — reflects both budget constraints and the limited print volumes typical of a country with a population under 200,000.
