| Reverse description | Heraldic American eagle displayed at center, with wings spread, clutching an olive branch and a bundle of arrows in its talons, and bearing a shield on its breast. Above the eagle, a glorious sunburst radiates from a central point, encircled by thirteen stars. The motto DEO EST GLORIA (Glory to God) is inscribed in two lines within the rays above the eagle's head. The legend UNITED STATES OF AMERICA arcs around the upper periphery, while TWENTY DOLLARS is inscribed along the lower border, all within a beaded rim. |
