A large ornate script title arcs diagonally across the upper portion, while a central lozenge-shaped guilloche frame encloses the bold numeral "20" in white relief. The legend "VEINTE CENTAVOS" is set in large serif letterpress along the lower border, with the printer's imprint appearing outside the frame at top and bottom. |

| 备注 |
The Compañía de Obras Públicas y Fomento del Perú was a French-backed infrastructure concessionaire granted sweeping privileges by the Peruvian government in the early 1870s to build railways, drain Lake Titicaca, and colonize eastern territories — an almost absurdly ambitious portfolio. These fractional notes were issued as a functional substitute for small coin, which had effectively disappeared from circulation as Peru's guano-debt economy lurched toward collapse. The National Bank Note Company in New York printed them, the same firm responsible for early U.S. federal currency.
Peru's 1876 default and the subsequent War of the Pacific rendered the company's concessions worthless within a few years of this note's issue.
