| Beschrijving voorzijde | 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. |

| Beschrijving keerzijde | 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. |

| Opmerkingen |
Louisiana issued this note in 1863 while Baton Rouge and New Orleans were already under Union occupation, leaving the Confederate state government operating from Shreveport. The practical reach of these obligations was shrinking fast, and notes issued that year circulated in an increasingly narrow corridor of Confederate-held territory in the northwestern parishes.
B. Duncan of Columbia, South Carolina, handled a substantial portion of Confederate state printing after Southern access to Northern printers collapsed entirely in 1861. Duncan's output for multiple Confederate states during this period shows consistent quality under difficult supply conditions — paper stock being the chronic limitation, not press capability.
