| Reverse description | The reverse is printed in dark olive-green and black, dominated by three large interlocking guilloche rosettes of differing sizes arranged horizontally. A bold diagonal ribbon banner across the central rosette bears the inscription VINTE MIL REIS, while a detailed vignette of the Brazilian coat of arms — a star-studded celestial globe on a coffee-and-tobacco branch wreath — occupies the right rosette. The bank title BANCO DA REPUBLICA DO BRAZIL is distributed across the upper and lower margins. |
