| Reverse description | The reverse, engraved by Luc Luycx, displays the updated map of the European Union extending across the globe, representing the geographic unity of the member states, positioned to the left of the denomination. The face value '20 EURO CENT' is inscribed to the right of the map in bold relief, with the designer's initials 'LL' incorporated into the design. Fine horizontal lines in the background field evoke a cartographic aesthetic consistent with the second map-type reverse series introduced in 2007. |
