Obverse description	The left portion of the note is dominated by a large intaglio portrait of King Mswati III in traditional attire against a purple and grey guilloche underprint with circular geometric motifs. At centre, the national coat of arms — supported by a lion and an elephant with the motto "SIYINQABA" on the ribbon — is set within a yellow guilloche medallion, above which the bank name "CENTRAL BANK OF SWAZILAND" is printed in bold dark lettering. Two facsimile signatures appear below the coat of arms, identifying the Minister for Finance and the Governor, with the denomination numeral "20" repeated at left and right in contrasting sizes.

Reverse description	The reverse carries a central vignette combining agricultural and industrial motifs: a Nguni bull's head emerges from a composition of maize cobs, a pineapple, and sugar cane plants at left, while factory chimneys and industrial plant structures occupy the right portion, all rendered in dark purple intaglio on a multicolour guilloche underprint with a star-burst pattern. The bank name and motto "GOD IS OUR SOURCE" are inscribed at the top centre, with the denomination "20" in large numerals at upper left and upper right. A red circular Central Bank of Swaziland seal appears at the right margin, and the printer's imprint "GIESECKE & DEVRIENT · GERMANY" is noted at the bottom centre.
