| Obverse description | Central guilloche vignette carries the large numeral '20' set against an intricate lathe-work underprint of repeating 'БНБ' monograms and denomination numerals in pale orange-brown tones. Elaborate scrollwork and rosette ornaments flank the central numeral on either side, framed by a fine geometric border with corner devices. The serial number and date '1950' appear in a decorative cartouche along the lower portion of the note. |

| Reverse description | A central architectural vignette presents a three-quarter perspective view of the Bulgarian National Bank building in Sofia, labelled 'Б. Н. БАНКА' on its facade, rendered in fine intaglio line work. Numerals '20' within ornate guilloche rosettes occupy the left and right side panels, with 'ЛЕВА' inscribed beneath each. A cartouche at the foot of the design contains the anti-counterfeiting warning text, all set within a fine geometric border with a diamond-pattern underprint. |
