| Obverse description | The obverse features a decorative composition centered on a magic wand surrounded by a swirl of stars, evoking the world of European fairy tales. Scattered across the field are various symbolic objects drawn from classic children's stories. The denomination '20 €' is prominently displayed in the center, flanked by the mint marks of the Monnaie de Paris, with the national motto 'LIBERTÉ ÉGALITÉ FRATERNITÉ' inscribed as a legend. Below the central design, the date '2002', the initials 'RF' (République Française), and the opening phrase of fairy tales 'IL ÉTAIT UNE FOIS ...' are inscribed. |

| Reverse description | The reverse is devoted to the tale of Cinderella ('CENDRILLON'), as retold by Charles Perrault in 1697 and the Brothers Grimm in 1812, with the title inscribed in the upper legend. Across the field, a narrative frieze presents key scenes and motifs from the story: the heads of Cinderella's stepsisters, a pumpkin with mice, a glass slipper, Cinderella dancing with the Prince, a colorized vignette of Cinderella sweeping, and a clock showing nearly midnight. In the lower portion of the field, a mirror and a crown are depicted, incorporating the Greek letter alpha 'α' enclosing the year '2002'. |
