| Beschrijving keerzijde | The entire central field is occupied by a detailed intaglio vignette of a herd of antelopes in full gallop across an open savanna landscape, with acacia trees and sparse bush in the background rendered with fine cross-hatching. Elaborate guilloche-patterned borders frame all four sides, with denomination numerals "20" repeated at each corner. The bank title "BANCO DE ANGOLA" appears across the top, the value "VINTE ESCUDOS" is inscribed along the lower border, and the printer's imprint "THOMAS DE LA RUE & COY. LTD LONDRES, INGLATERRA" appears in small lettering beneath the central vignette. |

| Opmerkingen |
By 1962, Angola remained a Portuguese overseas territory, and Banco de Angola operated as a quasi-colonial institution issuing currency under Lisbon's oversight. That same year, the armed independence movement had already begun — the MPLA's first attacks came in February 1961 — meaning this note entered circulation during active insurgency, a fact that shaped subsequent issue volumes as the colonial administration scrambled to maintain economic stability in the territory.
Thomas De La Rue's production quality on this series is reliable, but the 130 × 62 mm format is notably narrow, a proportioning the printer used across several African colonial issues of the period.
