| Reverse description | Printed in green, the reverse is dominated by a symmetrical design of three large, interlocking guilloche rosettes arranged horizontally across the note, with the numeral '20' rendered in fine lathe-work at the centre of each. The top margin carries the inscription 'PAGARÁ EN EFECTIVO' and the bottom margin reads 'EL BANCO DE HONDURAS', both in capital letterpress. The overall composition is executed entirely in intaglio, with no central vignette, relying on the geometric complexity of the engine-turned ornaments for visual security. |
