Reverse description The large numeral 20 occupies the central field, superimposed over a dove in flight carrying an olive branch, symbolizing peace and unity. Encircling the denomination is a ring of human hands in various gestures — including a clasped handshake at the base — representing cooperation and solidarity among peoples. Twelve stars are arranged along the inner border, referencing European unity. The multilingual legend TRIAL · ESSAI · PRUEBA · MUSTER curves along the upper rim, identifying this piece as a trial strike.
