| Obverse description | The obverse is laid out with an elaborate guilloche border framing the entire note, with the denomination numeral '20' in ornate cartouches at upper right and lower right. A circular medallion vignette at left centre bears a female head in profile, rendered in intaglio. The trilingual bank title — in German, Italian, and French — is printed in bold letterpress across the upper portion, with the denomination expressed in all three national languages beneath. Serial number, series designation, date, and three manuscript signatures appear in the lower section, along with the issuing law reference. |
