Obverse description Printed in blue-green intaglio on white cotton paper, the obverse centres on a bust portrait of a young woman with curled hair set within an ornate frame, flanked by two circular guilloche medallions each bearing the numeral '20' and the legend 'CENTAVOS'. The upper arc carries the bank title 'EL BANCO NACIONAL DEL PERÚ', while the promise text 'Pagará a la vista al portador VEINTE CENTAVOS EN MONEDA CORRIENTE' and the date 'Lima Enero 1º de 1873' appear below the vignette, with two manuscript signatures bearing 'GERENTE' designations at the foot. The printer's imprint 'American Bank Note Co. N.Y.' is present along the lower border.
