| Obverse description | The Czechoslovak double-tailed lion rampant facing left, bearing on its breast a quartered shield incorporating the Slovak cross, occupies the central field. The circular legend REPUBLIKA·ČESKOSLOVENSKÁ arcs around the upper periphery, while the date 1938 appears in the lower field below the lion. A small mint or engraver's mark is positioned beneath the date at the very base of the field. The design, modelled by Otakar Španiel, is rendered in a bold, sculptural relief characteristic of interwar Central European coinage. |

| Reverse description | A central sheaf of wheat ears fans upward from the lower field, flanked on the right by a curved linden branch with leaves and catkins, and on the left by a sickle, all rendered in high sculptural relief. The large numeral '20' is prominently displayed in the lower left field, with the denomination indicator 'h' implied by the design context. The engraver's signature 'O.ŠPANIEL' appears in small lettering along the lower right of the field. The composition is bold and agricultural in character, reflecting the interwar Czechoslovak numismatic aesthetic. |
