| Obverse description | Intaglio-printed portrait of Mustafa Kemal Atatürk in three-quarter view occupies the right half of the note against a green and red guilloche underprint incorporating the crescent-and-star motif of the Turkish flag. The denomination numeral '20' appears in large format at center-left and lower-left, with the written value 'YİRMİ TÜRK LİRASI' printed in intaglio below the central numeral. A color-shifting OVI numeral '20' with crescent-and-star is positioned at upper right, alongside a latent-image security element panel. |

| Reverse description | The reverse is dominated by a vignette of the main building of Gazi University in Ankara, an early Republican-era structure designed by architect Mimar Kemaleddin, rendered in fine-line intaglio engraving. To the left, a section of a historic Roman aqueduct is depicted, referencing Anatolia's architectural heritage. Geometric forms — a sphere, cube, and cylinder — appear as symbolic references to architectural design principles, set within a teal and olive-green guilloche background. |
