| Obverse description | The allegorical figure of the Sower (La Semeuse) is depicted standing before the French tricolor flag, her gaze directed toward the initials RF positioned to her right. Rendered in a calmer, more monumental pose than the classic Roty original, she carries a domed vessel in place of the traditional seed bag, while stylized ears of wheat rise beside her to symbolize the fruition of France's cultural and economic influence. A raised platform in the lower field bears the face value and denomination, echoing the plinth of the Statue of Liberty, with the vintage inscribed immediately above. The engraver's initials JM appear in the field. The legend RF, the denomination 20 €, and the date 2024 are inscribed on the platform in Latin characters. |

| Reverse description | The allegorical figure of Lady Liberty is portrayed in left-facing profile, dressed in a flowing, loose-fitting classical gown, her arms extended to display the American flag as though releasing it freely into the wind. She wears a Statue of Liberty crown upon her head, lending her a proud and determined expression, while a bald eagle soars at her side. A profusion of stars fills the field behind her, their forms overlapping and merging to evoke the union of the American states. The composition, designed by Joaquin Jimenez, balances dynamic movement with emblematic symbolism in a broadly struck medallic style. |
