| Obverse description | A large intaglio portrait of President Alfonso López Michelsen, wearing glasses, occupies the right half of the note against a deep red guilloche underprint with the vertical legend VEINTE MIL PESOS. To the left, a full-length vignette of López Michelsen in a suit holding a pre-Columbian ceramic vessel is rendered over a multicoloured wave guilloche background, accompanied by a colour-shifting optically variable ink element in the form of an anón fruit. Two serial numbers in black appear at upper left and lower right; the issuer name BANCO DE LA REPÚBLICA / COLOMBIA is at lower left, with two facsimile signatures above the designations GERENTE GENERAL and GERENTE EJECUTIVO. |

| Reverse description | The left portion carries an intaglio vignette of a figure weaving a traditional sombrero vueltiao over a fine-line guilloche underprint in warm amber and blue tones, with a sombrero vueltiao motif at lower left. The central zone incorporates a vertical security thread marked BBC / BRC and a watermark window, while the right half transitions to a pale blue-grey ground bearing a stylised aerial view of the pre-Hispanic hydraulic canal system of the Zenú people and a Zenú gold ear ornament (orejera) rendered as a colour-shifting OVI rosette. A circular intaglio seal of the Banco de la República appears at upper right, accompanied by a quoted verse by Benjamín Puche Villadiego in small text. |
