| Obverse description | Black intaglio print on white paper with a salmon-toned guilloche underprint reading '20 VEINTE PESOS' along the lower margin. At left, a detailed vignette of a public plaza fountain monument with figures and trees rendered in fine engraving; at centre, a large ornate lozenge-shaped guilloche frame encloses the numeral '20' above the denomination 'Veinte Pesos', flanked by two seated allegorical female figures. The bank title 'EL BANCO DE CONCEPCION' arches across the upper portion, with the text 'PAGARÁ AL PORTADOR Á LA VISTA EN CONCEPCION' below, and repeated '20 VEINTE' microtext borders running along all four edges. |

| Reverse description | Printed in orange-red on white paper, the reverse is dominated by an elaborate symmetrical guilloche design with large '20' numerals at left and right within foliate cartouches. A central oval vignette contains a finely engraved portrait of a young woman in three-quarter view, her hair adorned with flowers. The bank name is split across two curved tablets — 'EL BANCO' at the top and 'DE CONCEPCION' at the bottom — framing the central portrait, with the printer's imprint along the lower margin. |
