| Obverse description | The obverse is printed in black on white paper in an early intaglio and letterpress style. A central vignette presents a beehive surrounded by floral ornaments, flanked by the denomination numerals '20' at upper left and right. Two oval portrait medallions appear in the lower corners — a uniformed military figure at left and a classical portrait at upper right — alongside a further vignette at lower right of a seated allegorical female figure. The text of the promise to pay is rendered in a cursive script across the centre, with 'VEINTE PESOS' underlined for emphasis. |
