Printed in violet, the reverse is dominated by a central oval portrait vignette of King George VI in facing view, attired in military uniform with decorations. Elaborate guilloche scrollwork flanks the portrait on both sides, with large numeral "20" counters set within intricate lathework panels at left and right. The printer's imprint appears at the base of the central vignette. |

British Guiana's wartime currency arrangements were complicated by the fact that the colony's commercial banks — Barclays, Royal Bank of Canada, the British Guiana Bank — normally handled note issuance. A direct Government issue in 1942 signals an emergency measure, almost certainly tied to wartime demand outpacing what the established banking channels could supply.
Waterlow & Sons printed the series in London despite active Blitz risk — the firm's Finsbury printing works had already taken bomb damage earlier in the war. The P#16 twenty-dollar denomination would have represented substantial purchasing power in the colony, likely limiting its day-to-day handling and contributing to the relative scarcity of circulated survivors in this series.
