| Reverse description | The reverse follows the standard European 20 euro cent design convention, displaying the large numeral 20 prominently in the right portion of the central field, with the word CENT inscribed below. To the left, a stylized map or globe motif is rendered in relief against a striated background. A ring of twelve five-pointed stars borders the inner field. The multilingual test legend — prove prova probe test essai — arcs along the upper rim of the coin, confirming its fantasy or pattern status. |

| Additional information |
Cape Verde struck a complete euro-cent pattern series in 2004 as part of its preparations for a hoped-for currency realignment, though the country's escudo remains pegged to the euro via agreement with Portugal rather than through any formal eurozone accession. These pieces never circulated and exist purely as probe issues — the X# prefix in standard references confirms their pattern status outside the regular numismatic canon.
