The lower half of the obverse is dominated by an intaglio-printed close-up portrait of a guanaco (Lama guanicoe) rendered in deep rose-red tones against a warm ochre and pink landscape underprint. A smaller full-body vignette of a resting guanaco appears in the upper right corner, while a large blue intaglio flower (mallow blossom) occupies the lower left. Scattered seed and petal motifs in pink and gold form a decorative border, with the denomination numeral "20" printed in large blue digits at upper right and again in red at lower right. |

The reverse carries a panoramic Patagonian landscape vignette in rose-red intaglio, with mountains, a glacial lake, scrubland vegetation, and a small rabbit in the foreground; a succulent plant and flowers appear at left. To the right of the landscape, a large outline map of mainland Argentina is printed with the inscription PARTE CONTINENTAL AMERICANA, accompanied by an inset map of the southern territories. The Argentine national coat of arms appears at far right, with signature lines and issuing authority text below the central vignette. |

Argentina's sustained inflation problem has made this a short-lived series. The 20 Peso denomination, already marginally useful at the time of issue, lost practical purchasing power rapidly as annual inflation ran well above 40% through the late 2010s, which is why the Banco Central eventually replaced the entire series with polymer notes carrying much higher face values.
The Casa de Moneda printing shows the security thread placement consistent with the broader redesign push that began after 2015, when the incoming Macri government scrapped the previous series and its imagery. That political decision drove the design change, not a counterfeiting event or a routine replacement cycle.
