| Vorderseitenbeschreibung | Left portion of the note carries an intaglio vignette of a reclining Neptune holding a trident, seated among sea creatures and maritime allegories, executed in a classical engraved style. A large circular guilloche frame occupies the upper left, intended for a serial number or stamp. The right field is filled with a fine guilloche underprint and carries the bilingual denomination in bold letterpress — TWENTY TICALS and VINGT TICAUX — above the payment obligation in English and French, issued at Bangkok, 6 December 1898, under the decrees of 21 January 1875 and 20 February 1888. |

| Rückseitenbeschreibung | The reverse is printed in the same reddish-brown intaglio palette and is dominated by a central rectangular text panel carrying the anti-counterfeiting warning in French under Article 139 of the Penal Code, flanked by two large circular guilloche medallions intended for serial numbers. The denomination and issuer name are rendered in Chinese (行銀國法 / 暹銀貮拾銖), Thai script (บางก์ เดอ ลินโดชิน์ / ยี่สิบ บาท), and Thai numerals (๒๐), with a full Thai-language promise-to-pay text occupying the lower centre. Decorative dragon vignettes frame the left and right borders, and the designer and engraver credits appear in the lower margins. |

The Banque de l'Indo-Chine's dual-denomination series — quoting both Baht and Ticals on the same face — was a deliberate concession to the currency realities of Siam, where the bank operated branches but had no formal monopoly. The Paris printing by Chaix (the house responsible for this series) under Wullschleger's engraving gave the notes a visual weight more aligned with metropolitan French securities than with circulating colonial paper.
Bramtot was a Salon-exhibited painter, an unusual credit for a banknote commission. His involvement suggests the Banque was conscious of prestige at a moment when it was competing for commercial legitimacy across multiple Southeast Asian territories simultaneously.
