| Obverse description | The obverse depicts a portrait of Ivan Franko (1856–1916), the renowned Ukrainian writer, poet, critic, and philosopher, rendered in relief against a lightly textured field. The effigy is accompanied by a verse excerpt from Franko's works in Cyrillic script. The denomination numeral '20' appears multiple times as a design element, and the legend identifies the issuing authority as the National Bank of Ukraine. The inscription 'ДВАДЦЯТЬ ГРИВЕНЬ' (Twenty Hryvnias) and 'ІВАН ФРАНКО' frame the portrait, integrating the banknote aesthetic with medallic relief technique. The overall composition echoes the design of the 20-hryvnia banknote, rendered here in fine silver. |

| Reverse description | The reverse presents a detailed relief depiction of the Lviv Opera House (Lviv National Academic Theatre of Opera and Ballet), a grand Neo-Renaissance and Baroque structure completed in 1900 to the design of architect Zygmunt Gorgolewski. The building's ornate facade, including its columned portico and dome, is rendered with fine architectural detail against a plain field. The denomination '20' appears at the corners, reinforcing the monetary character of the piece. The legend 'ЛЬВІВСЬКИЙ ОПЕРНИЙ ТЕАТР' identifies the subject, while 'ДВАДЦЯТЬ ГРИВЕНЬ' and 'НАЦІОНАЛЬНИЙ БАНК УКРАЇНИ' appear as surrounding inscriptions. The year '2003' is inscribed in the lower portion of the field, referencing the design year of the corresponding banknote series. |
