| Obverse description | The national arms of Guinea-Bissau occupy the central field, consisting of a stylized scallop shell at the base flanked by two crossed rifles, surmounted by an olive wreath enclosing a five-pointed star at the apex. Two ribbon banners bearing the national motto are inscribed across the wreath. The circular legend 'REPÚBLICA DA GUINÉ-BISSAU' runs along the upper periphery in Latin characters, while the date '1977' appears in the lower field, flanked by two small five-pointed stars. |

| Reverse description | A detailed naturalistic rendering of a rice plant in full ear occupies the left and central field, its multiple stalks rising from a stylized waterline at the base, evoking the agricultural theme of the FAO issue. To the right of the plant, the large numeral '20' is prominently displayed in the upper right field, with the currency denomination 'PESOS' inscribed in bold capitals below it. The composition is uncluttered, with no border legend, the imagery filling the plain field to emphasize the coin's agricultural and food-security symbolism. |
