Obverse description Letterpress-printed note in green and white, with an ornate guilloche border running along all four edges incorporating diamond and oval motifs, and denomination numerals "20" at each corner. The central field carries the large spaced letterpress title "MUNT- BILJET" above the statutory text issued pursuant to the law of 18 December 1845, Staatsblad No. 90, with the place and date "'s Gravenhage 1 Januarij 1846" and a manuscript signature of the Minister of Finance below. A secondary panel at left bears the registration legend "Geregistreerd voor TWINTIG GULDEN, Register Lett. C" alongside a legal notice referencing the Nederlandsche Bank, all printed in the same green ink on a cream paper ground.
