| Obverse description | At right, an intaglio-engraved oval portrait vignette presents György Dózsa, the 16th-century peasant revolt leader, rendered in a dark blue tonal palette with his name inscribed below the frame. At left, a large guilloche medallion encloses the numeral '20' above the anti-counterfeiting legend 'A BANKJEGYHAMISÍTÁST A TÖRVÉNY BÜNTETI'. The Hungarian People's Republic coat of arms is centred at the foot of the note, flanked by three facsimile signatures, with the issuer name 'MAGYAR NEMZETI BANK' and the issue date printed in the central field. |

| Reverse description | The central intaglio vignette presents a classical allegorical male figure — a muscular nude raising a hammer in his right hand and a sheaf of wheat ears in his left — set within a circular guilloche border with floral ornamentation at the base. Guilloche panels in diamond form at both left and right margins carry the numeral '20', with the denomination legend in a bold banner at the foot. The serial number is printed in red at upper left and upper right. |
