| Obverse description | Intaglio-printed vignette of a lion's head in three-quarter profile occupies the left half of the note against a fine guilloche underprint, with the caption 'TETE DE LION / Parc National de KUNDELUNGU' below. To the right, a large diamond-shaped guilloche panel carries the interlaced 'CBC' bank monogram in green, with a smaller circular medallion bearing the same device below and a Governor's signature line dated 30.06.2003. Denomination numerals '20' appear at lower left in an olive-toned box and at upper right within an oval electrotype element, with vertical microprint text reading 'REPUBLIQUE DEMOCRATIQUE DU CONGO' repeated along both lateral borders. |

The right field is overlaid with a geometric diamond-patterned guilloche in olive and teal tones, while the left field is largely unprinted white, carrying a small diamond-shaped security device near the top. Denomination numerals '20 F' appear at upper right alongside the word 'TWENTY', and the Swahili legend 'MAKUMI MBILI' is printed at lower right; the anti-counterfeiting warning 'LE CONTREFACTEUR EST PUNI DE SERVITUDE PENALE' appears at lower left. |
