| Obverse description | Intaglio portrait of Rachel Bluwstein (Rachel the Poetess) occupies the right portion of the note against a vivid red and pink underprint composed of radiating palm frond vignettes. The upper left carries the Bank of Israel emblem in olive-gold, with a UV-reactive dot symbol above it. The large numeral '20' appears both at upper right in white and at lower left in red, flanked by the Hebrew inscription 'בנק ישראל' (Bank of Israel) and 'שקלים חדשים' (New Shekels), with the governor's signature and Hebrew/Gregorian year below. |

| Reverse description | The reverse presents a panoramic landscape vignette of the Sea of Galilee (Lake Kinneret) shoreline rendered in warm red and pink tones, evoking the lyrical imagery of Rachel Bluwstein's poetry. Lines from her poems 'Kinneret' and 'And Perhaps It Never Happened…' are inscribed across the design in Hebrew, integrated into the guilloche background. The denomination '20' and the Bank of Israel logotype appear alongside the multilingual bank name. |
