| Descripción del anverso | Black intaglio print on white paper with green underprint. At left, a seated allegorical female figure rests against a rocky plinth; at centre-right, a second reclining allegorical figure is accompanied by a globe and navigational instruments. The bank title BANCO DE QUITO arches across the upper centre in bold letterpress, with the denomination expressed both numerically in a lathe-work medallion at upper right and in script as VEINTE across the lower centre. A date panel reading Quito, Enero 2 de 1880 appears within a green guilloche cartouche, with signature lines for EL GERENTE and EL DIRECTOR below. The word VEINTE repeats in large ghost lettering as a central underprint, and the numeral 20 flanks the border in a repeating counter pattern. |

| Descripción del reverso | Printed entirely in orange-red intaglio on white paper, the reverse is dominated by an elaborate symmetrical lathe-work design of interlocking guilloche rosettes and ornamental scroll borders. A central oval cartouche carries the bank name Banco de Quito in bold script, flanked on each side by the numeral 20 set within circular counter medallions. The overall composition is densely geometric, with no pictorial vignettes, relying entirely on engine-turned patterns for its decorative effect. The printer's imprint American Bank Note Co. New-York appears twice in the lower margin. |

Banco de Quito was a private commercial bank chartered in 1868 and operated as one of Ecuador's primary note-issuing institutions through the late nineteenth century. The American Bank Note Company in New York produced this series, as it did for the majority of Ecuadorian provincial banks during this period — ABNC held a near-monopoly on high-security printing for South American clients who distrusted local print facilities.
The S-prefix in Pick's catalog places this firmly in the Specialized volume under Ecuadorian private bank issues, a category that remained active until the 1899 Ley de Bancos pushed Ecuador toward a single-issuer model and rendered notes like this one progressively redundant.
