| Obverse description | A classical allegorical vignette at left centre occupies the full height of the note, portraying a seated female figure with a male figure at her side set against an architectural background with a domed building; the vignette is framed by a guilloche border with the numeral '20' in each corner. The central right portion carries a multicolour geometric underprint with the bold intaglio inscriptions 'ZWANZIG' and 'DEUTSCHE MARK' within a decorative panel. The series date 'SERIE 1948' and the serial number appear in red above the central design. |
