| Obverse description | Cream-toned note with an elaborate ornamental cartouche framing a detailed letterpress vignette of the Donaueschingen town hall, rendered in grey-black tones with fine architectural detail. The denomination 'Zwanzig Mark' is printed in large Gothic blackletter script across the centre of the vignette, with the city arms — a crowned shield bearing a wheel — at the lower right. A serial number in Gothic numerals appears at the top, with validity and anti-counterfeiting notices flanking the lower corners in Fraktur script. |

| Reverse description | Cream and ochre ground with a fine dot-pattern underprint. The central vignette presents an allegorical sculptural group of a seated maternal figure with a child, set within an oval surround of red guilloche rosette work, above which rises a landscape view of a church with twin towers set against a wooded hillside. To the left and right, circular portrait medallions with ornamental borders each contain a figure in traditional Black Forest regional costume — a woman at left and a man at right. Bold numerals '20' appear at both upper corners. |
