| Obverse description | The heraldic coat of arms of Pope Francis occupies the central field, featuring a shield charged with the IHS Christogram surrounded by a radiant sun, a star, and a bunch of grapes — the traditional emblems of the Society of Jesus. The shield is surmounted by the papal tiara and crossed keys of Saint Peter. A scroll at the base of the arms bears the papal motto MISERANDO ATQUE ELIGENDO in Latin. The circular legend FRANCISCVS PP. A.D. MMXIX S.P. VII runs along the upper periphery, and the engraver's name DE GIORGI appears in the lower exergue. |

| Reverse description | The reverse depicts a scene from the Acts of the Apostles, specifically the liberation of Saint Peter from prison (Acts 12:7), rendered in a refined engraved style. An angel, shown in full figure with outstretched wings, reaches toward a chained prisoner seated on the ground, whose wrists and ankles bear broken shackles. Above the scene, a grated prison window is visible in the upper field. The legend CITTÀ DEL VATICANO arcs along the upper periphery, and the denomination 20 EURO is inscribed at the base, flanked by the Rome mint mark R. |
