| Obverse description | The denomination '20000' is inscribed prominently in large stylised characters at the center of the field, with 'FORINT' below it. The legend 'MAGYAR KÖZTÁRSASÁG' (Republic of Hungary) arcs along the upper periphery in a distinctive runic-inspired lettering style. Below the denomination, the mint mark 'BP.' and the year '1996' appear in two lines. Flanking the lower field on either side are symmetrical decorative motifs in the form of stylised foliate or leaf-scroll ornaments in relief, meeting at the base where the engraver's monogram 'KNA' is incused. |

| Reverse description | Two mounted Magyar warriors on galloping horses are depicted in bold relief, charging dynamically to the right across the field. The foremost rider is shown drawing a bow, evoking the legendary mounted archery skills of the ancient Hungarians commemorated by the 1100th anniversary theme. Both horses and riders display richly detailed geometric and diamond-pattern ornamentation on their trappings, rendered in a stylised archaic manner. The date '896' appears in the upper left field, referencing the Magyar conquest of the Carpathian Basin, while '1996' and the engraver's monogram 'KNA' are inscribed at the lower right. |
