| Obverse description | The obverse features a view of the Belvedere Palace in Vienna, a celebrated Baroque architectural masterpiece and the site where the Austrian State Treaty was signed on 15 May 1955, restoring Austrian sovereignty. The palace is rendered in fine detail at the centre of the field, flanked by heraldic hatchings representing the colours of the Austrian national flag. The denomination 20 EURO CENT arcs around the upper and lower periphery, and the date appears within the design. Twelve stars of the European Union encircle the composition, linking the national motif to the broader European community. |

| Reverse description | The reverse depicts the first-series European Union map design, showing the fifteen member states of the EU in raised relief against a globe-segment background extending into Western Europe and North Africa, symbolising continental unity. The face value 20 is rendered in large numerals to the left of the map, with EURO CENT inscribed below. The initials LL, denoting engraver Luc Luycx, appear discreetly within the design. The composition is common to all eurozone member states issuing coins of this denomination during the first map series (2002–2006). |
