The central vignette presents a fine intaglio rendering of the Standard Chartered Bank headquarters building in Hong Kong, set against a complex guilloche underprint in pale blue and yellow tones. To the right, a vertical green security strip is flanked by an optically variable leaf device enclosing the numeral '20', with a large pale watermark numeral visible at the far right. |

| Reverse description | The central vignette portrays a yum cha scene in fine intaglio, with a waiter pouring tea for a family of three seated at a table laid with dim sum dishes, evoking Hong Kong's traditional teahouse culture. Decorative red lanterns hang in the background against a pale guilloche underprint, with a distant city skyline rendered in soft tones to the upper right. The denomination numeral '20' appears in the upper corners in the same bicolour scheme as the obverse, and the bank's name is displayed in both English and Chinese in a teal panel along the lower margin. |
