| Obverse description | The coat of arms of French Guiana occupies the centre of the field, depicted in high relief with two jaguars as supporters flanking a crowned heraldic shield bearing a castle above a pirogue and tropical foliage, the whole surmounted by an ornate scroll. The legend GUYANE FRANÇAISE arcs across the upper field in stylised cursive lettering. To the right, in the same decorative script, the Republican motto liberté égalité fraternité is arranged vertically, followed by the date 2004 and the monogram RF below. The word ESSAI appears in small capitals at the lower rim. |

| Reverse description | A coiled Boa Constrictor fills the field in bold sculptural relief, its sinuous body rendered with detailed scale patterning and a naturalistic posture that dominates the design. The species name Boa Constrictor is inscribed in cursive lettering along the left side of the field. The denomination 20 € appears in large decorative numerals at the lower right. The legend Protection de La Faune curves along the lower rim in matching cursive script, referencing the wildlife conservation theme of the issue. |
