| Obverse description | Black intaglio print on white cotton paper with a central vignette of a seated female allegorical figure — likely representing Commerce or the Nation — positioned atop an anchor with an industrial harbour scene in the background. The denomination numeral '20' appears in large guilloche-framed panels at each corner, with the issuing bank name 'BANCO DE LA NACION BOLIVIANA' across the top and 'VEINTE BOLIVIANOS' along the lower border. A bold black overprint reading 'BANCO CENTRAL DE BOLIVIA' is applied horizontally across the centre of the note, indicating the provisional reissue under the newly established central bank. |
