| Obverse description | The face is dominated by large ornate Gothic lettering spelling "Reichsbanknote" at the top and "Zwanzig Mark" across the centre, set against an intricate guilloche underprint in blue and grey tones. Four elaborate rosette vignettes occupy the corners, with the Prussian imperial eagle enclosed within a guilloche medallion at the upper right. The denomination numeral "20" appears in the lower left and right margins, multiple manuscript signatures of Reichsbank directorate members are inscribed across the lower portion, and a red seal is applied at the lower left. |

| Reverse description | The back is a typographically dense design composed entirely of repeated text and numerals in a symmetrical guilloche-framed layout, printed in blue-grey intaglio. The denomination numeral "20" and the legend "REICHSBANKNOTE" are repeated in alternating horizontal bands across the entire field, creating a textile-like security pattern. A central ornamental panel frames additional anti-counterfeiting text at top and bottom, with no pictorial vignette present. |
