| Reverse description | The reverse is printed in brown on plain paper and carries a single large guilloche rosette composed of multiple concentric wavy-line engine-turned rings radiating from a central oval, within which the numeral 20 is reserved in white against the lathe-work ground. Four smaller satellite rosettes of similar engine-turned construction are positioned at the cardinal points of the central motif, the entire composition filling the note face without additional inscriptions. |
