| Obverse description | A minimalist, graphically modern design dominates the obverse field, divided between a polished and a frosted surface treatment. The Swiss cross is rendered in bold relief at the upper centre of the field. The denomination numeral '20' appears prominently in the lower centre, with the currency abbreviation 'FR' below it and the Bern mint mark 'B' immediately above. The circular legend 'CONFOEDERATIO HELVETICA' runs along the left and upper periphery, with the date '2004' positioned along the right, all in incuse-style lettering following the coin's circumference. |

| Reverse description | A detailed architectural rendering of the Château de Chillon occupies the centre of the reverse, depicted in a stylised, graphic engraving style that emphasises the castle's multiple towers, turrets, crenellated walls, and lakeside foundations. The mountain silhouette of the Alps is rendered in a bold geometric manner in the upper right background, contrasting with the finely detailed castle in the foreground. The circular legend 'CHATEAU DE CHILLON' is arranged around the left and lower periphery of the field in large, spaced capital letters, integrating typographically with the architectural design. The engraver's initials appear discreetly in the upper right field near the mountain motif. |
