| Reverse description | The reverse is executed entirely in dark blue-grey intaglio, with a highly geometric design of interlocking guilloche patterns and ornate lathe-work borders covering the entire surface. Two large circular medallions, each containing the bold numeral '20', are positioned symmetrically at left and right, separated by a central band of fine engine-turned scrollwork. The bank name is divided across the design reading 'BANCO DE' above and 'OCCIDENTE EN QUEZALTENANGO' below, with the printer's imprint 'American Bank Note Co. New York' at the bottom margin. |
