| Obverse description | The obverse features a bold, large denomination numeral '20' prominently displayed in the centre of the highly polished mirror field, beneath which appears the Greek legend 'ΕΥΡΩ' and the Latin transliteration 'EURO' separated by a decorative band of parallel horizontal lines. The Greek state title 'ΕΛΛΗΝΙΚΗ ΔΗΜΟΚΡΑΤΙΑ' arcs along the upper periphery, accompanied by the year '2003', all arranged within a dotted border. The engraver's initials 'NN' appear at the base of the field, attributing the design to Nikos Nikolaou. The overall composition is rendered in a modern, geometric style consistent with Greek commemorative coinage of the period. |

| Reverse description | The reverse depicts a stylised commemorative composition centred on the numeral '75' rendered in large, flowing script, with the word 'ΧΡΟΝΙΑ' (meaning 'years') inscribed across the upper portion of the numeral, commemorating the 75th anniversary of the Bank of Greece. Superimposed upon the numeral is a representation of a banknote or document bearing a circular vignette depicting a classical seated female figure, surrounded by a ring of twelve stars evoking the European Union. The date range '1928-2003' is inscribed in the upper field, and the legend 'ΤΡΑΠΕΖΑ ΤΗΣ ΕΛΛΑΔΟΣ' curves along the lower periphery. The entire design is executed in high-relief proof finish against a deeply mirrored field. |
