Obverse description The Italian Kingdom coat of arms occupies the upper centre, flanked by intricate guilloche borders and foliate decorations incorporating olive, vine, oak, and other botanical branches rendered in green intaglio. A legal text panel, framed in a square at lower centre, is supported by two allegorical children — commerce at right holding a fishing hook, industry at left holding a gear — with the denomination underprint '20 LIRE' repeated in transparency across the central field. Series numbers appear at upper left and lower right, serial numbers at upper right and lower left, with a matrix strip along the left border bearing the inscription 'REGNO D'ITALIA' in black letterpress.
