| Obverse description | A central vignette portrays Confederate General P.G.T. Beauregard, flanked on the left by the word TWENTY and on the right by a vignette of a bearded man clad in animal skins. The note is printed in a letterpress style typical of wartime Southern issues, with border inscriptions running along all four edges detailing the terms of redemption and receivability. |

| Reverse description | The reverse is printed entirely in blue, dominated by an elaborate guilloche composition centered on an oval cartouche bearing the numeral 20 in white relief. Four large lathe-work rosette medallions flank the central oval within an elongated decorative frame of intricate engine-turned scrollwork, creating a dense, symmetrical pattern characteristic of mid-19th century security printing. |
