| Reverse description | The reverse is similarly executed in gold-plated finish, reproducing the map of Europe vignette drawn from the first-series 20 Euro note, with fine microprint bands of repeated "EURO" / "EYRO" text running horizontally across the upper field. Three large guilloche rosette underprint circles occupy the upper left quadrant, while the denomination "20" appears at lower left and lower right flanking the "EURO / EYPO" bilingual legend. |

| Comments |
This is not a banknote. Gold-plated polymer "euros" of this type are novelty items — collector souvenirs produced by private minting and gift companies, never issued or authorized by the European Central Bank. The ECB has no record of authorizing any gold-plated polymer denomination in this format. The issuer attribution on the item itself is either decorative or misleading.
Not a catalogable monetary instrument. No Pick number exists for this piece.
