| Obverse description | Printed in dark green and deep red on a cream diamond-pattern underprint, the obverse carries a central vignette of a large baroque civic building flanked by two allegorical silhouette figures — one to the left associated with industrial motifs including a wheel, and one to the right with agricultural implements. The denomination '20 Mark' appears in ornate red Fraktur script at each upper corner, beneath an arched banner reading 'STADT BURG / Bez. Magdeburg'. The lower cartouche, framed by elaborate scrollwork, bears the issue date 'Burg, den 1. Dezember 1918', the issuing authority 'Der Magistrat', and two facsimile signatures. |

| Reverse description | Printed in dark grey and deep red on a pale green diamond-pattern underprint, the reverse is dominated at centre by an oval vignette of the Burg city arms — a knight standing before a castle gate, surmounted by a crenellated tower — set within an ornamental frame. The denomination '20 Mark' in bold red Fraktur numerals flanks the vignette on either side. Below, a three-line Fraktur text states the note's validity conditions, followed by a serial number in a decorative red rectangular panel, and the printer's imprint at the foot. |
