| Obverse description | Central field bears the crowned coat of arms of the Greek state, flanked by the date 1876. The denomination '20 ΛΑ' appears within the design, and the legend 'ESSAI MONETAIRE' encircles the central device, identifying the piece as a monetary pattern. The entire composition is contained within a raised circular cable border. The engraving reflects the precise neoclassical style characteristic of the Paris Mint workshops under Désiré-Albert Barre. |

| Reverse description | The word 'PARIS' is boldly incused in capital letters at the centre of the field, enclosed within a raised circular cable border. The surrounding annular band bears the legend 'ALLIAGE SEBILLOT' reading clockwise, separated by a six-pointed star at the base. The reeded collar is visible at the outer rim, and the overall design is plain and utilitarian in character, serving to identify the alloy supplier and place of manufacture. |
